The deployment journey has 3 important steps

After signing up and deciding upon the country you want to visit, the first step of your journey will be fundraising. Each country has its own fundraising target – please see below. Remember, you have as much time as you need to raise funds. Plus, what’s so unique about a Reach Deployment is that we don’t ask for a registration fee.

Briefing

Whether conflict or climate-related, humanitarian crises zones face the same challenges: a deteriorating infrastructure and lack of access to food, safe water, healthcare, sanitation facilities and shelter. Before you travel, you will receive a full briefing on the humanitarian situation. We’ll cover information such as what to pack, itinerary and flight information, and provide mandatory safeguarding training to protect our beneficiaries. We’ll also answer any questions you may have.

Deployment

This once-in-a-lifetime experience allows you to spend time with the people we support and see, first-hand, the real, tangible difference that humanitarian aid delivery can make, and understand the challenges faced by those living in harsh conditions.

What our Reachers say

Hear from our reachers

"One of the best experiences of my life. The deployment opened my eyes to the lives of our Syrian and Palestinian brothers and sisters and the struggles they face. I'll never forget the stories I heard and the tents we visited. The experience made me truly grateful for the life I have and has inspired me to continue charity work and deployments. It was a pleasure to play a small part in helping our brothers and sisters."
Annam Ahmed, Online Content Creator & Vlogger

“I’ve been on two deployments to Lebanon to help distribute aid to our Syrian, Palestinian, and Lebanese brother and sisters, which included food parcels, Eid gifts and more. Initially, I felt sadness when I met our brothers and sisters in Lebanon, but I’m overwhelmed with gratitude and so blessed Allah chose me to do his work. I can honestly say it’s saved me as a person. It’s allowed me to become the person I am today.”
Haneefa Begum, Reach Captain

“There’s something so beautiful about the individuals that join a deployment. They are souls that are alive and awake. It’s almost as if we had met before. To know that every person on the deployment was handpicked by Allah (swt) gives me goose bumps. We had people of all ages, races, religions and from different walks of life who connected for one common goal.”
Osma Younis, Finance Consultant (ACA)

“I never thought I would have the good fortune to experience something like this. After coming back from my first deployment, I feel an overwhelming sense of responsibility - to be and do better for our brothers and sisters. No matter what your background is, I encourage everyone to go on a deployment. My biggest lesson is that we have been put on this earth to be a servant, to provide our service to our people. May we never forget it.”
Prasangsha Gurung, Financial Analyst

“It was a life changing experience! I was incredibly nervous as I hadn’t been on a trip like this before. Khalil, Zainab, and the team were very supportive, we had regular safety briefings as well as informative question and answer sessions, which was great as it helped to ease nerves. The collective experience of is great and I felt in safe hands the whole trip. It was amazing to witness firsthand where the aid is going and how it helps so many people.
Ambreen Chunara, Account Manager

“An eye opening and humbling experience. Truly, no words, no pictures, no videos can describe my journey. From interacting with the children and families, to handing out food parcels and hygiene kits, to cooking and handing out hot meals to our brothers and sisters in the camps. I am honoured to have experienced such an eye-opening journey which allowed me to become so much more humble, grateful, and empathetic.”
Imad Ismail, Student

“This journey has genuinely been life changing. It’s changed my perspective on a lot of things, especially in my own life, and what I need to change. I went with the intention to help our brothers and sisters who live in the refugee camps. However, it soon dawned upon me that I’m the one that needed this. I needed to see how we take the smallest things for granted. Running water, electricity, just being able to live a normal life.”
Adam Umarji, Youth Engagement Manager
