What We Do/ Sustainable Livelihoods

A sustainable livelihood is a way of earning a living that empowers people to become self-sufficient and less reliant on humanitarian aid.

Islamic Relief works closely with communities to identify their needs and provide relevant livelihoods training. Projects include interest-free loans, cash-for-work schemes and developing small businesses, such as vegetable and dairy production.
