Across the world, Shia communities remain among the most underserved and overlooked populations.
‘The Forgotten Shias’ highlights the urgent humanitarian needs facing marginalised Shia communities across conflict-affected and underserved regions. From food insecurity and lack of clean water to limited access to healthcare, education, safe housing and sustainable livelihoods, millions of families continue to live without the basic foundations of stability and dignity. Women, children, widows and orphans are disproportionately affected, often navigating poverty, displacement and systemic neglect with little support.
Through targeted programmes including food and water aid, maternal and child healthcare, medical treatment, orphan support, sustainable agriculture, housing, and economic development initiatives, your donation directly funds practical, community-led solutions.
Each package on this page represents measurable impact – whether providing clean water to a village, supporting a child’s education, enabling safe childbirth, restoring a livelihood, or building a safe home. Your generosity today helps transform hardship into long-term resilience.
