On behalf of vulnerable communities in Pakistan, we are thankful to Muslim Response USA for Relief and Development as an organization, who served with committeemen and dedication to support the vulnerable in the under develop areas of the Glob. Muslim Response USA for Relief and Development provided a platform to serve the most vulnerable population and keep lifting them up to live a health life. This organization did a commendable work for orphans children and their families to safe themselves socially and economically from the threats but also continue their education. We are deeply impressed by the accomplishments, achievement and your invaluable contribution to the welfare and protection of most vulnerable communities of our society. Within a very short duration of time Muslim Response USA for Relief and Development emerged as a leading organization to response quickly in emergency and also for people in need. We would like to wish Muslim Response USA for Relief and Development all the best and extend our appreciation for their dedicated work, especially Dr. Arif Mehmood as a great leader and mentor in the field of humanitarian development.
In 2020, Muslim Response USA came in handy for Kenyans during the tough COVID-19 time when most NGOs were facing challenges. They helped feed the fasting and especially those who were under the quarantine. It was tough time that needed a true friend. MRUSAD was that friend in need. Since then we have seen MRUSAD expand its activities in Kenya from Food security to and water.
They have quenched the thirsty orphans, widows and the weak in the society especially those in tough arid and semi arid regions of Kenya.
It is now more than three years of service and we can see a great impact.
Healthy kids and women.
Increased school attendance by kids.
Improved performance in classes.
In local dispensaries, records show reduced cases of water born diseases. This is attributed directly to clean and safe water from the many Water Wells done by MRUSAD. It has cut down government expenditure on health and the money can now be channeled to education and infrastructure development.
At home, women are now able to earn income that can sustain their daily needs.
Generally, MRUSAD has touched lives in amazing way in Kenya.
Muslim Response USA for Relief and Development continues to progress and achieve its aim of reaching the most vulnerable and deprived communities in Asia and Africa regions. Among its many efforts I want to highlight the following : In response to the emerging crisis it is providing humanitarian assistance including food, water and medical care to around 60,000 Palestinians affected by the ongoing conflict in Gaza: More recently it has provided medicine worth USD 4 million to meet the health care needs of poor families in Sindh, Pakistan.
Its model of working through local community organizations makes it a very efficient and cost effective. Please do check out our website and support in any way you can.

I am proud to serve on the board of Muslim Response USA for Relief and Development.
The organization is thriving under the thoughtful and skilled leadership of Dr Arif Mehmood who brings extensive experience working with major international development organizations in Asia and Africa regions.
The business model of the organization allows for maximum benefit to reach the most marginalized and deprived communities with minimal overhead expenses.
The organization has a record of responding quickly in emergencies. Beneficiaries are selected carefully with particular focus on women, girls and orphans.
If you are looking for a place to donate for Zakat, Qurbani or Sadqa you can donate with confidence and peace of mind knowing your donation will reach those in need quickly.
It is with pleasure and privilege that I write to you in recommendation with this honest review about Muslim Response USA to witness that it serves and improves the lives of the most in need across the globe while following the best humanitarian principles, policies and practices.
Blessed people with wealth may research where to give their donations and dollars, think which charity is more reliable, and do incredible work to change the lives of the less fortunate and impoverished individuals and communities. This review may help such donors make the right decision by starting a productive dialogue with the chief Dr. Arif Mehmood. I am always happy to say Dr Arif is a great humanitarian leader, an absolute development activist, and a wonderful mentor who inspired with the dream where wealth is shared, compassion for people facing difficulty, taking care of our wonderful planet, accept and respect diversity and tolerance of our differences which gives wealth and beauty to our world.
We started delivering different projects supported by Muslim Response USA in Sri Lanka. MRUSA is one of the very less charitable organizations that promote orphan sponsorship programs in an inclusive approach, considering other minority ethnic groups as beneficiaries since Sri Lanka is a Multicultural Pluralistic country. In the program, there is no limitation to leaving a child or beneficiary behind because of their colour, religion, race, or ethnicity. Dr Arif believes that addressing the root causes of poverty requires working WITH the world’s poor, rather than on their behalf.
Through this inclusion, Muslim Response USA believes that it can bridge the gap between donors, beneficiaries, local authorities, and diverse communities to bring about a sustainable end to poverty in the vulnerable regions it works. Some of the projects we implement for extremely vulnerable women to stabilise and revitalise their economic condition through livelihood and entrepreneurship development are very long-lasting. Less fortunate poor women and vulnerable children are the most focussed stakeholders of our program in Sri Lanka that Muslim Response USA focuses on. We wish a blessed year ahead in 2025 to extend its programmatic coverage and life-changing missions in more needy spaces in the world.

I admire that the President of MRUSA Dr. Arif Mehmood is a unique personality with great mentoring, leadership insights and expertise in the field of humanitarian development. This is one of the primary instruments to drive a well-deserved charitable organization.
Dr. Arif is an excellent discussion partner and in the early days- I remember him sharing the current reality and trends in the charity sector, in which grantees and like-minded donors are particularly keen on the appeals to provide cooked meals on Fridays after Jummah. ; And he asked with a smile, "What if we offered them on other days of the week?"
This has witnessed me that Muslim Response USA is just not an ordinary relief-oriented organization, and I have to say, they mainstream the guiding humanitarian principles, think of sustainable ways, empower local communities in the process of delivering aid and inspire people of all generations to get involved in their own unique way. I have seen how Muslim Response USA operates through the perspective of several different roles and giving importance to transparency, inclusiveness, accountability, intentionality, and excellence with which they carry out their life-changing work is commendable.
Response USA is one of the top nonprofit organizations we Global One collaborated and implements projects, they encourage us to implement impactful programs that transform lives in SriLanka. Global One is honoured to be a part of Response USA’s global mission that provides relief and long-term sustainable solutions to address cyclic issues towards orphans development, education, Water and Sanitation, Livelihood, hunger and emergency relief in the face of global pandemics and disasters. Global One deliver food relief, hunger relief, and thirst relief programs with Response USA from 2021 and I witness that there is a greater likelihood to maintain high levels of ethical standards, and transparency which ensures the value for money and accountability for their donors as well.
The impact they have had on communities worldwide speaks for itself. May Allah bless the team members and reward their fabulous efforts towards humanity!
Dear Respected sir
We would like to inform you that the projects undertaken by you have brought significant benefits to the people in India. For instance, the Qurbani program benefited nearly 700 families. Similarly, other initiatives have had even greater positive impacts. These projects have left behind numerous benefits. We pray to Allah to accept all your efforts and services
The Muslim Welfare Organization of Bangladesh has had the honor of working with Muslim Response USA (MRUSA) since 2022. Our partnership has flourished over the years, and we have collaborated on various impactful programs aimed at alleviating the suffering of vulnerable communities.
1) Qurban Program: One of our most significant collaborations is the Qurban Program. MRUSA generously donates funds to purchase cows, and the meat is then distributed to vulnerable communities. This initiative not only addresses immediate nutritional needs but also brings joy and a sense of inclusion to those who receive the meat.
2) Ramadan Program: During the holy month of Ramadan, MRUSA supports our Food Pack Distribution Program. Each food pack, designed to sustain a family for up to 25 days, is a beacon of hope for many struggling households. This program ensures that families can observe Ramadan without the stress of food insecurity.
3) Hot Meal for Flood-Affected People: MRUSA's support extends to emergency responses as well. Their Hot Meal Distribution Program provides freshly cooked meals to those affected by floods, offering immediate relief and sustenance during times of crisis.
4) Orphan Sponsorship Program: MRUSA's commitment to education is evident through their Orphan Sponsorship Program. They provide a monthly stipend of 2000 taka to each of 30 orphans, ensuring these children have access to education and a brighter future.
5) WASH Program: Access to clean water is a fundamental right, and MRUSA's donations for tubewells have significantly improved the lives of vulnerable communities. This initiative ensures that families have access to safe drinking water, reducing the risk of waterborne diseases.
6) Eid Gift Distribution Program: Celebrating Eid is made more joyous for many through MRUSA's Eid Gift Distribution Program. These gifts bring smiles to faces and foster a sense of community and belonging.
Our relationship with MRUSA is built on mutual respect and a shared commitment to serving those in need. The President & CEO of MRUSA, Mr. Arif Mehmood, exemplifies compassion and dedication. His understanding of the pain and suffering of vulnerable communities drives MRUSA's unwavering support, no matter the size of the contribution.
In conclusion, our partnership with MRUSA has been immensely rewarding. Their activities and behavior are exemplary, and their support has made a tangible difference in the lives of many. We look forward to continuing this strong and impactful collaboration.
I highly recommend Muslim Response USA (MRUSA) for your Zakat, Khairat, and Sadqah contributions. As a partner of MRUSA for the past four years, we have witnessed firsthand their unwavering dedication to supporting marginalized communities, especially orphaned children and their families. MRUSA's efforts extend throughout the year, with a particular focus on providing essential aid during the blessed months of Ramadan, Eid ul Fitr, and Eid ul Adha. Their commitment to uplifting the lives of vulnerable families is truly commendable, and we at Saibaan Pakistan are proud to collaborate with them in this noble cause. We strongly encourage you to support MRUSA in their mission to bring hope and relief to those in need.

A Lifeline of Compassion and Hope: Muslim Response USA
On behalf of the South Sundarban Janakalyan Sangha (SSJS) and the countless lives touched in the Sundarbans, I express our profound gratitude to Muslim Response USA for their exceptional support during times of dire need.
Food to the Foodless during Ramadan:
Goal:
Alleviate food insecurity during the month of Ramadan for 200 households in the Sundarbans region.
In April 2024, during the holy month of Ramadan, Muslim Response USA extended a lifeline to 200 of the most vulnerable poverty stricken families in our community in Patharpratima block of Sundarbans. Through their Ramadan Iftar Packet initiative, families struggling with poverty and hunger received essential food items, allowing them to break their fast with dignity and hope. For many, this act of kindness was not just a meal but a reminder that they are not forgotten, even in their hardest days.
‘Remal’ the devastating cyclone:
Goal:
Provide immediate relief and support to 200 families in Patharpratima block affected by the Remal cyclone, addressing their nutritional need and to initiate steps for long-term resilience building.
The Sundarbans region, renowned for its unique geographical and ecological features, is highly susceptible to natural disasters, particularly cyclones and floods. These recurring calamities severely impact the socio-economic fabric of the region, with the recent Remal cyclone being a stark example. On May 27, 2024, the Remal cyclone struck the coastal West Bengal covering the entire Sundarbans including Patharpratima block in South 24 Parganas, West Bengal, causing widespread devastation. The cyclone brought with its high winds and heavy rains, resulting in the contamination of agricultural lands and sweet water ponds with saline water, the destruction of homes, and significant disruptions to livelihoods wreaking havoc across the Sundarbans. Families lost their homes, livelihoods, and even their sense of security. In this darkest hour, Muslim Response USA once again became a beacon of light. Their swift and heartfelt response brought relief materials and food to 200 families grappling with unimaginable loss. The compassion and urgency shown in their relief efforts helped these families rebuild their lives, brick by brick, with courage and faith.
What makes Muslim Response USA stand out is their genuine commitment to humanity. They don’t just provide aid; they restore dignity and rekindle hope in the hearts of those they serve. Their work goes beyond borders, uniting people in shared compassion and solidarity. Their actions speak louder than words, and their impact resonates deeply within the communities they touch. Every contribution to their mission becomes a powerful tool for hope, healing, and transformation.
Muslim Response USA has become a trusted partner in our journey to serve the underserved. We pray for their continued success and urge everyone reading this to join hands with them in their noble mission. Together, we can create a world where no one is left behind.

One example of the great work of Muslim Response USA is they delivered medicine worth USD $4 Million to Health & Nutrition Development Society (HANDS) in Karachi on Dec 10th for providing much needed health care services to poor families in Pakistan.

My name LEBON KABENE, Executive Director of MEN AND WOMEN WORKING TOGETHER (MWT) formerly called TOGETHER FOR THE WELL - BEING OF VULNERABLE CHILDREN IN AFRICA (GEWEVUCA).
An organization that has been working in partnership with RESPONSE USA FOR RELIEF AND DEVELOPMENT for 6 years now.
During this entire period of work, support and funding that Response USA provides to our organization, we have succeeded in creating great change in our community. And this with different layers of populations, With vulnerable and orphaned children we support their education to make them responsible future leaders, with the elderly we intervene in nutrition, for orphans without families we promote their female guardians by providing them with financial education, then we give them an income-generating activity, today support which was intended for 25 orphans and their families has helped around a hundred. as part of the fight against SGBV, the promotion of masculinity, the fight against sexual exploitation and pimping, we teach rural women and girls in the community how to raise poultry, we help them to set up their own henhouses and let's give them chickens and roosters. today, more than 120 families breed and provide for their needs.
THANK YOU TO RESPONSE USA FOR RELIEF AND DEVELOPMENT BUT ALSO ITS DONORS WHO CONTRIBUTE TO POSITIVE CHANGE IN THE LIVES OF OUR POPULATIONS VICTIMS OF ARMED CONFLICTS AND NATURAL DISASTERS
While the efforts and the mission of the organization are good, I am not sure how the leadership works. I have contacted the organization many times for my donations and my problem never seems to get solved. Do they even have a working staff? Fear Allah. Hope they are not taking the money of the donors for their usage. I have been a loyal donor for a long time but now I am switching to another organization to donate to for the upcoming month of Ramadan. My experience with the organization overall is full of frustrations.
Not really a trustworthy organization. Not sure where my money is going when I donate. I would look elsewhere to donate honestly.
Very disorganized organization where the transparency of where your money is going is not there. I sponsored an orphan and for more than a year got no update about my sponsorship. Not really sure if the money is being spent where they tell it is going or if the founder is just putting it in his pockets. I would rather find another credible nonprofit to spend my money on.
Muslim Response USA is a true force for good. Their tireless dedication to their cause is evident in the positive impact they've had on countless lives. With a clear focus on transparency and efficient resource management, they ensure every donation counts. Supporting them is a direct way to make a meaningful difference in the world.
Their unwavering commitment to their mission and transparent use of donations make them a charity worth supporting. They're making a real difference in the lives of those they serve.
Muslim Response USA is a shining example of a charity organization that truly makes a difference. Their dedication to their cause is evident in the positive impact they've had on countless lives. I've had the privilege of supporting their work, and I'm consistently impressed by their transparency and the efficiency with which they utilize donations. This organization's commitment to both immediate relief and long-term solutions is commendable. If you're looking for a trustworthy charity to support, this is a worthy choice, and your contributions will undoubtedly go a long way in improving the lives of those in need.
"The Muslim Response - USA" has been an invaluable partner in our mission at Muslim Welfare Organization (MWO). Their unwavering support has made a significant difference in the lives of poor orphans and communities in need. Through their generous aid, we have been able to provide education and essential food supplies to underprivileged orphans in rural areas of Mymensingh district and the Rohingya Camp in Cox's Bazar. Additionally, their assistance in establishing deep tube wells for access to clean and pure water has greatly improved the living conditions of rural communities. Dr. Arif Mehmood's leadership and the organization's commitment to humanitarian causes have been instrumental in our joint efforts to make a positive impact on those who need it most. We are immensely grateful for their partnership and dedication to making the world a better place.

Their effort to transform the lives of those marginalised and downtrodden across the globe is an exemplar of concern for the human wellbeing across the geographic, ethnic and religious divide. The kind of initiatives and interventions MRA has been implementing in providing food and medical assistance to those who need it the most in some of the most vulnerable parts of globe vouches their singular dedication, administrative efficiency and selfless attachment to the cause.

I am a regular donor of MRUSA. I will highly recommend this organization. I appreciate them for the work they do. At least we can contribute if we are not able to do the job they are doing.
Amazing charity, I love the work you do and the transparency. Keep up the great work and thank you for the options and the easy usability on your site. I feel like you guys really do help around the globe!
As a Muslim I always try to donate whenever and however I can. Finding a legit organization that will use the most of my donation for the cause I am giving was very tough. I donated in several organizations then found there donation distribution policy was unclear or most of it went to administration and advertisements. Most organizations have a minimum donating amount that forces you to donate the amount they want. It was an unpleasant situation knowing my donation was not being used properly. Then again 1 or 2 organizations claimed to be 100% donating policy but I couldn’t find valid review and how they do it. Then finally I found Muslim Response USA. I can donate any amount I want and is legit. I am very happy with Muslim Response USA.
We have been blessed to be apart of this amazing non profit organization and donating each year consecutively.
Thank you for everything you do.
You are all beautiful souls.
Creating a beautiful new Earth
A Earth that has Hope

Children and women in need are our future and we need to teach them Hope,Love & Peace to create a better world.

Great humanitarian relief organization which is helping the vulnerable population in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. The least we can do is support Muslim Response USA so they can carry out the important mission for human rights sake.

The purpose of this organization is to lend a helping hand to as many areas which need it and Muslim Response USA is doing exactly that. My donations are set for this organization and you should also trust your donations with this organization!
Muslim Response USA for Relief and Development is one of the many registered 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization working in America for the humanitarian causes across the globe. What makes this organization different from others who hold the same mission statement is that the team is composed of highly compassionate and dedicated staff who are deeply passionate about their work. We need more people today who are focused on human rights issues affecting marginalized populations without any greed or benefit to themselves. Therefore, this organization is the perfect example of this and I hope Muslim Response USA's significant work stays this way for many years to come, InshAllah. May God bless you all for your work.
The Muslim Response USA for Relief and Development and Islamic Zakat Fund Malawi (IZF) are both non-profit organizations based in Virginia – USA and Malawi respectively.
The two organization signed a funding agreement to confirm the relationship of cooperation between them to successfully and effectively implement the project titled “Qurbani 2022 Project”. This project was funded by Muslim Response USA for Relief and Development.
The project was successfully implemented by Islamic Zakaat Fund Malawi. Six large animals (Cows) were sacrificed on Tuesday 12th July 2022 at Lingoni area in Machinga district, which benefitted 300 people, 84 Male, 146 Female and 70 children.
As Islamic Zakaat Fund Malawi, just as any other charitable organization is committed to serve the poor through any means possible. This is the reason why IZF accepted to implement this project.
We thank Muslim Response USA for Relief and Development (Muslim Response USA) for the 2022 Qurbani project. We further pray for them to continue donating to Islamic Zaakat Fund Malawi so that Malawians benefit each year.
We would like also to extend our appreciation to Muslim Response USA for Relief and Development (Muslim Response USA) for entrusting Islamic Zakaat Fund Malawi to implement this project. We hopefully to partner with them for more projects.

I am LE BON KABENE, Executive Director of an organization called TOGETHER FOR THE WELL – BEING OF VULNERABLE CHILDREN IN AFRICA (GEWEVUCA in acronym), an organization that supervises, accompanies and assists children, young people and other people in particularly difficult. We operate from Goma, in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, an area in war and conflicts for more than 26 years, these wars leave behind several orphans, several widows, several families lose their property (houses and other valuables) , once women and girls are raped, homes/households are destroyed. It should also be noted that during these repeated wars and insecurity, several children and young people were enrolled in armed groups. Apart from these wars which continue to impoverish the community, it should be noted here that this part is also the victim of many epidemics such as cholera, Ebola and Covid 19 which bring down the economy of the community.
The Nyiragongo volcano has been active for several years and is among the most dangerous in the world. Each time it erupts, it can destroy between 40 and 50 km in its path. For its last eruption in May 2021, the community lost a lot of houses, vehicles, fields, ... We even lost our center for vulnerable children / School with all its heritage, which slowed us down and disoriented us, while we already had good activities in favor of our community and about 12000 people benefited from our services from our coaching center/ school.
Speaking of natural disasters, the eastern part of our country is also experiencing several landslides, and untapped gas, etc.
After several years of struggle with the support community, It was in 2019 that we carried out concrete and very important activities in favor of vulnerable populations with the support of MUSLIM RESPONSE USA FOR RELIEF AND DEVELOPMENT in several areas:
• As part of the education of 1500 vulnerable children, MUSLIM RESPONSE USA has:
- Paid the bonuses of 6 supervisors / teachers and 1 representative of teachers for 4 years,
- Purchased school kits for children from families with no income
- Buying professional training materials for children who tend to the majority (about 18 years old)
- Buy books for teachers and learners
- Rent a host school after losing our support center/ school in the volcanic eruption
• As part of emergency actions for children and populations affected by epidemics and natural disasters and wars, MUSLIM RESPONSE USA has supported around 750 vulnerable families by:
- Distribution of shoes and clothes to children, young people and vulnerable families Distribution of food
- Distribution of sanitary kits
- In the context of health, MUSLIM RESPONSE USA paid a bill for the medical care of approximately 100 children from poor and diminished families.
• As part of support for community development, MUSLIM RESPONSE USA supported 120 in the context of the empowerment of rural women
In conclusion, the assistance of MUSLIM RESPONSE USA was and is of paramount importance first with our organization because with the orientations, advices and suggestions of our partner we have changed our way of working. We are now very productive and producing quality work.
On the community side it is difficult to list all the results produced by the support that MUSLIM RESPONSE USA gave, but we can say that this support has changed many lives in our community, from the point of view of education, the fight violence against women , girls and children, health and clothing support for vulnerable people, and community development through the empowerment of rural women.
WE HAVE BIG VISIONS AND PLANS FOR OUR COMMUNITY, BUT WE NEED A GOOD AND BIG PROJECT/ SUPORT. TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN MUSLIM RESPONSE USA NEEDS YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS.
THANK YOU FOR ASSISTING MUSLIM RESPONSE USA BECAUSE YOUR DONATIONS, YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS CHANGE LIVES IN THE WORLD MORE PARTICULARLY PEOPLE IN PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT SITUATIONS (DISPLACED BY WAR, DISASTERS, CHILDREN SEPARATED FROM THEIR FAMILIES, ORPHANS, (CHILDREN, YOUNG PEOPLE AND WOMEN VICTIMS OF SEXUAL EXPLOITATION AND PROXENETICISM) IN DR CONGO, IN MY COMMUNITY

Monsoon rains have submerged a third of Pakistan, claiming more than 1,500 lives since June and unleashing powerful floods that washed away swaths of vital crops and damaged or destroyed more than a million homes. More than 33 million people have been affected by flooding, with more than 50,000 rescued and close to 500,000 now living in relief camps after losing their homes in widespread flooding.
Pakistan is on the “front line” of the world’s climate crisis after unprecedented monsoon rains wracked the country since mid-June. The rainfall - nearly three times the national 30-year average, and more than five times the 30-year average in some provinces, has led to the Government declaring a national emergency, with 72 districts declared ‘calamity hit’ – mostly in Balochistan and Sindh, the two worst-affected provinces, as well as in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab.
Muslim Response USA for Relief and Development is on the ground in Pakistan and providing much needed humanitarian assistance to families affected by the devastating floods since July 20th 2022. Initially, we delivered food to displaced families in 2 Flood Relief Camps established by the local government in Rajanpur. However, after the second wave of rains and floods, we expanded our outreach to very remote and rural areas as well and are delivering food aid, water and hygiene supplies to stranded families. During the recovery phase, we are planning to provide livelihood, shelter and medical care to families who have lost their homes, livestock and standing crops due to the flood disaster.
Your Sadaqah and Zakat donations will enable us to deliver emergency food aid, life saving medicine as well as essential non-food items to those in need; please DONATE generously at:
