Originally established in 1993 by an Imam from the local Nottingham community in response to the Bosnian crisis, Muslim Hands was only incorporated as a charity in late 2004. Activities have however been running for over a decade beginning with emergency work in Bosnia.
The organisation has a global presence across 5 continents with programmes, both development and relief, running in diverse fields, such as agriculture, education, care for the elderly, micro-finance and health.
Muslim Hands began working in China in 2004, opening an office in Lin Xia Hui Autonomous prefecture in the south-west of Gansu Province, where there local population is mainly composed of orthodox Hui Muslims.
To date work has focussed on providing medical assistance to impoverished children in the area through providing cleft-lip and palate correction surgery. Educational scholarships have also been provided and food distributed amongst the local community through the purchase of meat at local markets. Other projects which are currently being considered include vocational training and safe water schemes.
Funding is derived 95% from Muslim communities that include individuals, organisations and businesses. For the most recent year this totaled ￡4.3 million. Some institutional funding has also been received from DFID, including ￡100,000 for reconstruction work in Iraq.
