Our History

In 2001, When we visited The Gambia for the first time we didn’t know what to expect. What we witnessed was a large Muslim population in poverty, many without even the basic essentials such as water, electricity, shelter for their homes and adequate food to eat.

This inspired us to help the needy Muslim population in this country. Two years later Noor Aid was established.

In the past few years we have branched out to other parts of the world, helping with other disasters and calamities including earthquakes and war impacted areas. With your continued support, generosity and duaa’s we hope to continue working and providing for those who are at most need in Africa and Asia.
