Income Generation Waqf
Islamic Relief’s income generation development projects enable poor families to earn their livelihood instead of relying on external support. To realise this aim, Islamic Relief has worked to develop small growth projects in accordance with Islamic guidelines.

Income Generation Waqf is a relatively new area of investment for Islamic Relief. Started in 2002, profits from this source have thus far successfully been used to finance a number of projects in Kosova and Pakistan.

The Muslim Study Circle is a group of fifteen girls who meet regularly at a local community centre to discuss different aspects of Islam. One of the members, Uzma made a presentation about the Islamic  Relief Waqf  Fund, which motivated  the circle to take up a Waqf share as a group. They each decided  to donate £5every  weektowards a share in the Income Generation Waqf. Having collectively raised £890 in just two months, Uzma sent a  cheque to Islamic  Relief. Shortly  afterwards the  group  received  a  Waqf deed in the name of the Muslim Study Circle.
