About Islamic Relief

Islamic Relief is a faith-based relief and development agency working to save and transform the lives of some of the world’s most vulnerable people. Established in 1984, now has been working in over 45 countries assisting individuals, families and communities through emergency response and development projects that typically help over 10 million people each year contributing directly to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It helps communities to better protect themselves against recurrent challenges such as drought and floods, and we deliver lifesaving emergency aid when disaster strikes. Further, it provides vital services such as livelihoods and education support, water, sanitation and hygiene which empower people to escape poverty and build brighter futures.  Since its establishment, IRW has helped millions of the poorest and most vulnerable people in the world. Inspired by the Islamic faith and guided by Islamic values, IRW believes that people with wealth have a duty to those less fortunate, regardless of race, political affiliation, gender, or belief. IRW is affiliated with Social Welfare Council as an International Non-Government Organization in Nepal.

About Project

Scaling-up Extreme Poverty Graduation and Climate Change Resilience in Disaster Vulnerable Communities in Asia (SCALING-UP GRADUATION & RESILIENCE IN ASIA) is a 4-year project funded by Islamic Relief USA. The project focuses on expanding efforts to address extreme poverty and enhance climate change resilience in disaster-prone communities. It is currently being implemented in Haripur Municipality, Sarlahi district, and Balwa Municipality, Mahottari district, within Madhes Province, Nepal. Local partnerships are key to its success, with Bagmati Welfare Society Nepal (BWSN) and Dalit Society Welfare Committee Nepal (DSWCN) playing integral roles for its successful implementation.

The project aims to benefit 9,931 rights-holders directly and 28,351 people indirectly. Among the direct beneficiaries, approximately 50% are women, and a majority come from ethnic minorities such as Dalit and Muslim communities. Further, ultra poor families will receive training in vocational and business skills, along with necessary support, to pursue viable small-scale business opportunities (both on and off-farm) that align with current market demand. 

The project aims for improved Living condition, livelihoods and reduced vulnerability to climate change in Mahottari and Sarlahi districts through capacity building, supported by advocacy and scaling-up of poverty graduation, adaptation technologies and innovations. To achieve this impact, the project focused on mainly on enhancing resilient livelihood and increase income, strengthening community and institutional capacity on climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction, and enhance capacity of IR team in different levels. 

In this regard, building the capacity of implementing partners' project staff in social mobilization will enhance effectiveness of the project implementation. This training will also improve their coordination skills with rights-holders, local government, and other stakeholders, and serve as a motivational tool for staff.
