WE NEED YOUR HELP

Our Work Depends on Your Generosity

At African Relief Fund (ARF), we work hand in hand with vulnerable communities across Africa to restore hope, dignity, and opportunity.

Through our programmes in healthcare, clean water, food security, education, and orphan care, we have transformed the lives of countless families facing hardship and crisis.

Our impact is driven by compassion—but sustained by partnership. Every clinic delivered, every child supported, and every community uplifted is made possible through the generosity of people like you. Without your support, this life-changing work cannot continue.

The Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) said: "The believer's shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his charity." (Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 604)
