Islamic Help’s home renovations project focuses on repairing and rehabilitating unsafe housing so vulnerable families can live with dignity, safety, and stability. This work supports families affected by conflict, displacement, disasters, and long-term poverty, particularly widows, elderly people, persons with disabilities, and households living in overcrowded or deteriorating homes. Rather than building new houses, donations fund critical upgrades to existing homes, making them safe, functional, and humane places to live.

Renovation work includes repairing roofs and walls, improving sanitation facilities, installing safe kitchens and electrical systems, and completing internal finishing to improve hygiene and comfort. Where needed, families also receive essential household items such as beds or white goods, based on assessed needs. Across programmes in Jordan, Gaza, Pakistan, Cameroon, Bangladesh, and Tanzania, Islamic Help has supported hundreds of families through home rehabilitation and reconstruction, with projects delivering measurable improvements in health, safety, and resilience. Each renovation is guided by local assessments, transparent selection, and oversight to ensure lasting, cost-effective impact.

Many families live in homes damaged by conflict, disaster, or years of neglect, where leaking roofs, unsafe wiring, and broken sanitation threaten health and dignity. Children sleep in damp rooms, elderly people fear injury, and parents feel powerless to protect those they love. Home renovation changes that reality.

With repairs completed, homes become safe again, families regain stability, and daily life feels possible. Parents can rest, children can study, and vulnerable people can recover dignity. Supporting this work means standing with families at a critical moment, helping them rebuild walls and roofs, but also confidence, security, and hope for a future together.

Families are living in unsafe homes today, with little protection from the weather or collapse. Delays increase risk, hardship, and long-term instability. Acting now restores safety, dignity, and hope when it matters most.

Since 2019, Islamic Help has delivered structured home renovation projects across flood-affected and displacement settings. More than 1,800 households have received repairs improving safety, sanitation, and weather protection. Projects are delivered through vetted local partners using needs assessments and documented work plans. Every renovation is logged with before-and-after evidence, beneficiary confirmation, and completion reports. High-value projects include one-to-one donor feedback and post-completion verification. 

Financial controls follow charity governance standards, with restricted funds tracked to specific line items. Independent audits are conducted annually. Monitoring teams conduct site visits during and after works to verify quality and usage. Progress updates are recorded internally and shared where appropriate. This approach ensures donations are traceable, outcomes measurable, and results verifiable through reporting, imagery, and partner documentation, and clear accountability standards.
