Our story

Operating with a 100% donation policy, GHH ensures that every penny contributed goes directly to those in need.

Through sustainable projects and community empowerment, GHH aims to break the cycle of poverty and create lasting change. Our transparent approach ensures that donations are effectively utilised, offering support to orphans, refugees, and impoverished families across multiple countries.
How It Began
Global Helping Hands was founded by a group of brothers in Maidenhead, Berkshire, with the core aim of seeking Allah’s pleasure and hoping our deeds are accepted on the Day we’ll need them most.
Our journey began in 2019 in Greece’s Moria Camp, watching helplessly as children aged six contemplated suicide due to dire living conditions. We volunteered in the medical camp on the Island, using our skills to provide healthcare to desperate refugees.
This experience inspired us to establish Global Helping Hands. We are a dedicated team of volunteers passionate about making a difference. Unlike many charities, we ensure 100% of your donations reach those in need.
Join us on this journey to make a lasting impact, for the sake of Allah.

Projects & programmes
Through education, healthcare, water and food we support children, widows, orphans and global issues in order to make the world a better place.
100% of your sincere donations will be entrusted (Amanah) upon us to assist the needy, destitute, poor, orphans and widows so that you attain maximum reward from your donation.
At Global Helping Hands, we are committed to a 100% donation policy, which means that every single penny donated is used strictly for charitable projects, Admin and Fundraising costs are covered by our specific admin fund and gift aid. No Sadaqah or Zakat donated is used for this purpose.
