Lia Relief Trust

LIA Relief Trust is a UK-registered Islamic charity established in 2013, based in Leicester, with a mission to deliver emergency relief and long-term sustainable projects alleviating suffering among the world's most vulnerable people, regardless of faith or background. Grounded in Islamic values of compassion, dignity, and accountable stewardship, it emphasizes urgent crisis response—such as natural disasters and conflicts—while breaking poverty cycles through education, healthcare, livelihoods, clean water access, shelter, and religious activities. Its distinctive approach blends pragmatic humanitarian aid with scalable development, operating primarily overseas in high-need regions like Syria, Bangladesh (Rohingya refugees), the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, serving disaster victims, refugees, the impoverished, and disadvantaged communities via direct delivery or select partners.

The trust prioritizes disaster relief, global poverty alleviation, health interventions, education for the underprivileged, livelihood support, and advancing Islamic charitable principles. Activities include food packs, medical aid, water wells, home construction, and educational programs, with robust growth in donations reinvested for immediate and enduring impact, as reported to the UK Charity Commission.

It does not accept unsolicited applications, lacking public forms, deadlines, or eligibility guidance; funding decisions are internal or with pre-existing partners, with no specified income/size rules, grant ranges (£ unspecified), or geographic restrictions beyond a global focus. Eligible entities are not detailed, but patterns favor established overseas partners over UK charities.

Distinctively inclusive despite Islamic roots, LIA Relief Trust excludes open grant-making for core costs, unrestricted, or capacity-building support, differentiating itself through transparent, faith-inspired global resilience-building for marginalized groups in crisis zones, rather than localized or speculative projects. Charities aligning with poverty reduction, emergency response, or humanitarian needs in priority regions may approach via relationship-building.
