About Qamar Trust

The Qamar Trust is a UK-based Charitable Incorporated Organisation established in 2020 by experienced volunteers. Rooted in Islamic values of Zakat and Sadaqah, it serves all people regardless of background, with a mission focused on poverty alleviation, disaster response, and advancing religious understanding through education and awareness. The Trust operates with core principles of accountability, transparency, equality, justice, and compassion, and is committed to a volunteer-led, efficient delivery model that maximises the impact of every donation. It distinguishes itself through faith-inspired global agility, grassroots networks, and a focus on tangible, life-saving interventions that transcend religious boundaries. The Trust prioritises relief for poverty, hardship, and natural or man-made disasters, supporting children, orphans, the elderly, people with disabilities, and communities worldwide.

What Qamar Trust funds

The Trust supports direct aid such as food, water, shelter, health, and education, with a strong emphasis on immediate relief and long-term development. Key activities include distributing food packs, orphan care, infrastructure projects, and advocacy. Geographically, it works in at least 13 countries across Africa and Asia, focusing on communities in greatest need. While primarily delivering direct aid, it occasionally grants to individuals and aligned organisations for sustainable empowerment. The Trust's work is driven by a commitment to tangible, life-saving interventions that address poverty, hardship, and disasters.
