Our Mission

We are a humanitarian aid charity focused on making a meaningful impact on the lives of individuals suffering in crisis situations. Our mission is to provide essential support to those affected by conflict, disaster, and poverty. Driven by a commitment to dignity, respect, and compassion, we strive to ensure that those in greatest need receive the help necessary for survival and growth.

Revive's mission is to continue offering lifesaving aid to refugee communities worldwide as disasters occur. Additionally, we are expanding our efforts to combat hunger by establishing more bread factories, providing a consistent and sustainable source of nourishment to isolated and impoverished refugee populations.

Our Story

In 1998, after over a decade of studying Islamic sciences, Shaykh Zaqir founded Darul Arqam Educational Trust with the aim of empowering under-served and isolated communities in the UK, especially focusing on strengthening the local Muslim community. Based in Leicester, Darul Arqam initially faced a gap in offering inclusive community-based activities, despite a strong presence of mosques. Over time, the trust expanded its horizons and became an internationally recognized institution.

In 2019, as Darul Arqam grew into a mosque, madrassah, and community center, Shaykh Zaqir recognized the need for a channel through which people could send their Zakat and Sadaqah for maximum benefit. Witnessing the misuse of humanitarian aid, he sought to ensure that it reached the most vulnerable, which led to the establishment of Revive as a UK registered charity in February 2020. After witnessing the effectiveness of their aid initiatives, Revive quickly realized the need for sustainable aid rather than sporadic relief. They launched a bread factory, producing nearly 800,000 flatbreads in its first year, ensuring a constant supply of food to isolated refugee communities. As the economic crisis in Syria worsened, Revive doubled its efforts, producing over 1.5 million loaves annually to support these communities.
