Akhuwat works to alleviate poverty through interest-free microfinance.
At Akhuwat, we’ve set a new precedent among Muslim charities by enabling donors to fund loans, which can be reused upon repayment, over and over again.We’ve also set a precedent in the world of microfinance, because our loans are interest-free, as per the Islamic standard which firmly forbids Riba -usuary.
We believe that people living in poverty want the chance to uplift themselves. Because no one deserves to be dependent on handouts. And because handouts aren’t sustainable.

PRESIDENT OF AKHUWAT UK & EU
Since mid-June 2022, torrential rainfall and catastrophic floods swept through Pakistan, destroying homes, and washing away roads and crops, causing tens of billions of dollars of damage to lives, livelihoods and crops. Akhuwat, in line with its philosophy of ‘Mawakhat” supported its brothers and sisters adversely affected by recent floods across Pakistan. To help provide immediate relief to millions of deserving individuals and families affected by floods, Akhuwat set up a “Flood Relief Fund”.
Akhuwat UK along with Akhuwat Sweden, Akhuwat USA, our collaborative networks, friends and families immediately sprang into action and fundraising campaigns were scheduled in urgency in the USA, Europe and other regions. We are indebted to thousands of expatriates who donated generously for the flood victims in Punjab, Sindh, Baluchistan and KPK.
The present report shares the breadth of the disaster and how it impacted Pakistan’s social and economic fabric. Akhuwat UK’s campaign was centred around the spirit of ‘Mawakhat’, mainly to support the displaced victims back on their feet by backing up their livelihood and repairing the damaged houses. We promised our donors to keep them updated about the continuous progress in the field through transparent and factual accounts so they are aware how their donations have been making difference in precious lives and changing them for better.
I, along with our board of governors, am indebted to your continuous support.
Akhuwat gave its first loan of 10,000 Rupees (approximately £40) to a widow who was striving to earn a living through honourable means. She wasn’t looking for charity; she only wanted a helping hand. Akhuwat marked the beginning of a new chapter in microfinance. One that found its inspiration not only in economic viability, but in the Islamic spirit of compassion and generosity.
Through compassion and Interest-Free Micro-Lending
