United Mission for Relief & Development (UMR) is a rapidly growing international non-profit. We deliver humanitarian aid and sustainable development solutions globally. Headquartered in Washington D.C., UMR specializes in responding to natural disasters, humanitarian crises, and persistent poverty. We often work in fragile areas.
Our Mission and Approach
UMR’s core mission is clear: relieve poverty, ensure well-being, and advance dignity. We combine humanitarian and development strategies. This means we offer immediate help while also building for long-term impact. Our approach emphasizes local participation and youth involvement in relief efforts. We integrate services and form strategic partnerships. We also focus on civic skills, empowering communities to find and implement their own solutions.
Global Reach and Key Programs
UMR has expanded significantly since its founding. We’ve launched projects across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and even within the U.S. Our programs often focus on crucial areas:
Health: We provide essential healthcare, including mobile clinics. We also support under-resourced facilities and address public and mental health needs.
WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene): We implement sustainable water solutions. Our goal is to ensure access to clean water and reduce waterborne diseases.
Livelihoods: We empower individuals and families. We offer skill development and microfinance to promote self-sufficiency.
Education: We provide access to quality education for underprivileged children. This helps unlock their potential and brightens their future.
Child Protection: We focus on the safety and well-being of vulnerable children, including supporting orphans.
Seasonal Programs: We offer targeted aid during specific times of need. These include winterization, back-to-school initiatives, Ramadan, and Qurbani (Eid al-Adha).
Our Commitment
UMR is dedicated to transparency and accountability. We use creative solutions to achieve our goals. We collaborate closely with local organizations and community leaders. This ensures our efforts are effective and culturally sensitive. By empowering communities to build their own resilience, UMR aims to be a leading organization in improving lives worldwide.
