Stories of transformation
The difference your giving has made
Mobility
A wheelchair made to fit
At our Amtoil rehabilitation camp, 150 people were assessed and 77 went home with a wheelchair or assistive device made for their needs. It means more independence, at home and outside it.
Water
Clean water, within reach
Each water hub has step-free access, so a person in a wheelchair can collect water without help. Sixteen hubs now serve families in Amtoil and Chittagong.
Family support
Care that reaches the whole family
Caring for a disabled child often means a parent cannot work. Monthly family support, from £10, helps with food, medicine and therapy so families can stay together and stay strong.

A Month to Remember.
A Mercy to Follow.
Rabi' al-Awwal reminds us of the life and legacy of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Let this month deepen our love for him, reconnect us with his Seerah and inspire us to turn that love into compassion for others.
Don't Just Remember the Seerah. Live Its Lessons.
The Seerah teaches us mercy, generosity, service, patience and concern for those most vulnerable. Our love for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ should inspire the way we worship, the way we treat others and the way we give.
Turn Your Love Into an Act of Mercy
One of the most beautiful ways to honour the Prophetic example is to care for those in need.
Your Sadaqah can help Rescue Aid Trust provide food, clean water, disability support, Islamic education and long-term assistance to vulnerable families.
Start Your Islamic Year With a Good Deed
Muharram is the first month of the Islamic year and one of the sacred months beloved to Allah. Begin the year with charity that can support vulnerable families throughout the months ahead.
Your support helps provide food, clean water, disability support, Islamic education and community development projects across Bangladesh.
The Best Time To Start Is Today
The Prophet ﷺ informed us that after Ramadan, the best fasting is in the month of Allah, Muharram. It is a month of reflection, worship and drawing closer to Allah through good deeds.
By supporting Rescue Aid Trust, you help deliver life-changing projects including Project Amtoil, clean water initiatives, disability support, food assistance and Masjid Darus Sunnah.
“The most beloved deeds to Allah are those that are consistent, even if they are small.”

Fitrana
Zakat al-Fitr is your final act of worship this Ramadan. It purifies your fast and helps ensure that no one celebrates Eid on an empty stomach.
Fidyah
If you miss days of fasting in Ramadan and are unable to make them up afterwards, then you must feed the poor. This is currently set at £8 per person per day.
Fidyah applies when you have a genuine reason for missing the fast, such as long-term illness, and you know you will not be able to make up the missed fasts after Ramadan.
Pay Fidyah
Kaffarah
If you miss a day of fasting without a valid reason, you should fast continuously for 60 days.
If you are unsure about your circumstances, please consult an Imam.
