One Ummah

Who we are?

One Ummah is on the Ground in 19 Calamity-Stricken Countries

We aim to alleviate suffering, and ultimately, save the lives of our brothers and sisters across the world. Not only do we aim to provide immediate relief to those in need; we also focus on empowerment projects that give beneficiaries the opportunity to transform theirs and their families lives for the better.

With your assistance, beneficiaries are given the skills and tools to craft a better life, away from the misery of poverty. After ten years of life-saving work, we have expanded greatly, with the recruitment of volunteers, employment of staff, and establishing offices across the UK and abroad.

Without the mercy of Allahﷻ first and foremost, and then the generosity of our amazing donors, we would not be in a position where we are able to benefit millions around the world every year.

May Allahﷻ reward and accept the deeds of every single person who was a part of our journey and continues to support our work.

Donation Policy

100% Donation Policy

One Ummah operates a 100% Donation Policy. We highly value the trust of our supporters and assure you that every penny you generously donate is dedicated solely to the cause or project you have chosen to support. We will never allocate project funds towards administrative expenses, marketing efforts, or generating additional funds.

It is important to note that any unavoidable online transaction charges by third-party gateways are deducted before the donation reaches us. An example of our 100% Donation Policy is if you give £100 towards school supplies, the entire £100 donation will go towards the school supplies and ensure they are received by the beneficiaries. Our donors can trust that One Ummah exercises complete diligence in how we allocate funds under the donors’ specific preferences and intentions.

So how does the charity cover its expenses?

We have a number of ways that we generate income that helps the charity operate from a day-to-day basis. The charity covers its costs from:

Admin Fund: A specific fund where donations can be made directly towards the administration costs.

Gift Aid: Any gift aid claimed on donations may be used for administration costs.

Textile Recycling: One Ummah maintains clothing banks where textiles are collected and recycled to raise funds.

Sponsors: We acquire sponsorship deals to increase the charity’s exposure and generate funds.
