Providing access to health care and medication is fundamental in the fight against poverty. Healthy children can attend school regularly, giving them the opportunity to improve their future.

In addition to assisting orphans such as Sami with supplemental funding for their medical needs, Islamic Relief’s health and nutrition programs include building, equipping and running health care centers; training midwives and traditional birth attendants; providing medication; and carrying out health and hygiene training.

Islamic Relief’s Health & Nutrition projects include:

• Mother and child health care programs
• Construction and rehabilitation of medical clinics
• Distribution of medical equipment and ambulances to hospitals
• Farming programs to improve agriculture and food security
• School food for malnourished children
• Immunization and health checkups
• Physical and psychological care programs for traumatized war victims
• Raising health and dietary awareness in poor communities

Other projects Islamic Relief is supporting through our Health & Nutrition program exist in Afghanistan, Azad Jammu Kashmir, Bangladesh, Chechnya, Egypt, Kosova, Mali, Pakistan, Palestine, and Sudan.
