Noor Aid

Noor Aid is a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (charity number 1127363).

Noor Aid is a charity that exists to help poor and needy people in Africa and Asia, with much of its work in The Gambia and ongoing projects in Madagascar. It began after a first visit to The Gambia, where witnessing poverty inspired help for the Muslim population there, and it was established two years later. The charity says it has raised over £8 million, and its projects range from food and clothing distribution, education and construction to water projects, sponsorship and relief when a disaster occurs.
