Who We Are
Harakati Muslim Services is a faith-based, non-profit organisation established to support vulnerable Muslim communities who are often overlooked. We bring emergency relief, education support, healthcare assistance and long-term development programs to families who have few other sources of help.
Our approach is local and relationship-driven: we partner with community leaders and volunteers to identify urgent needs, coordinate culturally respectful support and ensure funds reach beneficiaries quickly and transparently.
Vision & Mission

A future where every Muslim family has access to education, healthcare and sustainable livelihood opportunities, and living with dignity and hope.
Our Mission
To provide fast, accountable and compassionate assistance, rescue during emergencies, food and medical aid for the needy, educational sponsorship and long-term projects that build self-reliance.
Where We Operate
Harakati currently operates from our headquarters in Johannesburg, South Africa, and runs projects that serve Muslim communities locally. Our immediate plans are to open branches across the region: Tanzania, Burundi, Uganda and Kenya — to reach more families who need help.

- Community partnerships, we hire and train local volunteers and staff.
- Transparent finance practices and clear reporting for every project.

How We Work
We combine urgent relief with sustainable programmes. When disaster or hardship strikes, we act immediately: food packs, medical support, burial assistance that follows Sunnah and Shariah, and temporary shelter. For lasting change we run education sponsorships, water & sanitation projects, and income generation programs.
Accountability is essential: every project has local supervisors, financial controls and regular beneficiary follow-up so donors can see tangible results.

- Donate: Once-off or monthly support helps us plan and act quickly.
