One Deen Aid is an independent humanitarian and development organisation committed to alleviating hardship and improving the quality of life of vulnerable and underserved individuals and communities.
One Deen Aid was established with a simple but important purpose: to help communities access the support and opportunities they need to address hardship, strengthen local initiatives and build better futures.
Our work spans humanitarian relief, education, health, livelihoods, water and sanitation, community development, dawah and other charitable initiatives.
We believe communities should not be overlooked simply because they have limited access to donors, resources or funding.
One Deen Aid seeks to help connect genuine community needs with responsible support, practical resources and opportunities for development.
Across many communities, individuals and local initiatives have the commitment and potential to make a difference, but may lack access to donors, funding, technical resources or wider opportunities.
Helping communities and local initiatives access appropriate resources and support.
Creating practical pathways through which donors and partners can support genuine needs.
Supporting education, livelihoods, community initiatives and development opportunities that can strengthen communities.
Our mission is to support vulnerable and underserved individuals and communities through humanitarian assistance, education, development initiatives and opportunities that contribute to improved quality of life.
We envision stronger communities with greater access to essential resources, education, opportunity and sustainable development.
Our work is organised across six broad areas, allowing us to respond to immediate needs while supporting longer-term development and community opportunity. Programmes will develop according to community needs, available resources, partnerships and our capacity to deliver responsibly.
Responding to urgent needs and helping vulnerable individuals and communities through practical humanitarian assistance.
Supporting beneficial Islamic and community initiatives that contribute to positive social and spiritual development.
Supporting access to essential water, sanitation and community infrastructure where genuine needs are identified.
Expanding access to education, learning opportunities, practical skills and training that can create better opportunities for individuals and communities.
Helping individuals and families develop sustainable livelihood opportunities and greater economic resilience.
Supporting access to healthcare, nutrition and practical assistance for families, children, mothers and other vulnerable people.
We are building One Deen Aid with an emphasis on responsible programme development, appropriate partnerships, clear communication and accountability.
Understand needs, priorities and local context.
Consider feasibility, resources and appropriate programme design.
Coordinate approved activities with communities and partners.
Document progress, activities and agreed programme information.
Established charities, foundations, NGOs, Islamic organisations and development partners may have programmes and resources but require a local organisation to help implement activities on the ground.
One Deen Aid is building its capacity to serve as a local implementing partner, particularly in Sierra Leone. We welcome opportunities to develop responsible, transparent and mutually beneficial partnerships.
One Deen Aid is focused on establishing the foundations required for responsible and sustainable programme delivery.
One Deen Aid is a new organisation. We are therefore focused on establishing strong systems, developing partnerships, identifying genuine needs and building the capacity required for sustainable programme delivery.
As our work grows, we intend to share more information about programmes, projects, partnerships and the communities we support.
Our aim is to develop a balanced portfolio of humanitarian, educational and development programmes while creating opportunities for partners and donors to support meaningful community initiatives.
We believe that meaningful change begins when people and organisations have the opportunity to respond to genuine needs, support local initiatives and help communities move forward.
