Culture & Values

We strive to achieve and adhere to our cultures and values as an organization to deliver success.

Relieve Humanity International is committed to adding value to humanitarian relief by creating projects focused on long term impacts. We are not competing against nor discrediting the great work that many other organizations are providing.

Abu Ad-Darda’ reported that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Nothing is heavier on the scale than good character.”

TOP OF MIND

We strive to prioritize and focus on what’s really important. Our decision making process should always factor death, acceptance, and blessings to ensure we have a disciplined process that prioritizes these critical factors.

LONG-TERM IMPACT

As we execute short term projects, we are also focused on long term impact. We do not sacrifice long-term value for short-term results. We invest time in designing and maintaining our projects for a long-term impact.

GOOD CHARACTER

We demonstrate and promote the beautiful teachings of Islam through good character, our conduct & demeanor in all of our interactions including leadership, staff, volunteers, donors, partners and beneficiaries.

TRUTH AND TRUST

We don’t only tell the truth, but we tell it in a way that what is heard is also the truth. We don’t hide or shy away from answering questions or being held accountable, even if the truth will be difficult to hear or to say.

HOLDING ACCOUNTABLE

We do not shy away from respectfully holding ourselves, our leaders, staff, volunteers and partners accountable. We are open and honest. We listen attentively, speak candidly, and treat others respectfully.

DELIVER RESULTS

We deliver results in a timely fashion and with high quality. Whether it be our volunteers, beneficiaries, donors, or staff, we respect them by being honest and fulfilling our commitment.

FRUGALITY

We accomplish more with less. Constraints breed resourcefulness, self-sufficiency, and invention. There are no extra points for growing headcount, budget size, or fixed expense. We measure the impact of new resources to ensure value for money spent.

HIGHEST STANDARDS

We value and strive for meritocracy and excellence. We have relentlessly high standards. We are continually raising the bar to deliver a better and bigger impact, while improving and streamlining our processes.

GROWTH MINDSET

We create and communicate a bold direction that inspires results. We think differently and look around corners for ways to serve. We are never done learning and always seek to improve ourselves.

FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY

We give a full breakdown of expenses. We raise funds for management and administration separately. Donations for charitable activities will be spent exclusively on project related expenses, unless facing a deficit, religious donations excluded.
