liarelieftrust.orgAbout Lia Relief Trust
LIA Relief Trust is a UK-registered Islamic charity established in 2013, based in Leicester. Its mission is to deliver emergency relief and long-term sustainable projects that alleviate suffering among the world's most vulnerable people, regardless of faith or background. Grounded in Islamic values of compassion, dignity, and accountable stewardship, the Trust emphasises urgent crisis response while also breaking poverty cycles through education, healthcare, livelihoods, clean water access, shelter, and religious activities. Distinctive for its inclusive approach despite Islamic roots, it focuses on transparent, faith-inspired global resilience-building for marginalised groups in crisis zones. The Trust does not accept unsolicited applications, working instead through internal decisions or pre-existing partnerships.
What Lia Relief Trust funds
The Trust funds emergency relief and long-term development in high-need regions overseas, including Syria, Bangladesh (Rohingya refugees), the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. Priority areas include disaster relief, global poverty alleviation, health interventions, education for the underprivileged, livelihood support, clean water access, shelter, and religious activities. Activities encompass food packs, medical aid, water wells, home construction, and educational programmes. The Trust serves disaster victims, refugees, the impoverished, and disadvantaged communities, operating through direct delivery or select partners.
