Eradicating global poverty is no easy feat, but when united, there's little that we cannot change or achieve.
We are a UK registered charity, dedicated to supporting some of the world’s most deprived communities.
International Learning Movement (ILM) is a UK registered charity, dedicated to supporting communities throughout the world. We tackle poverty at its root, by improving access to education and providing opportunities to help our programme participants create a better quality of life.
Our core projects include Education, Orphaned Children, Welfare & Support, Safe Drinking Water and Healthcare.
Founded in October 2003, we are a well-established charity. Our goal is to ensure that through our donors, our contribution to society makes a genuine, positive, and long-lasting difference to people's lives.
Most of our work takes place ‘on the ground’ in countries within South Asia and Africa. We operate in a fair and transparent way and are always fully accountable.
Through our generous donors, we raise funds and help maintain awareness to protect the rights of society’s most vulnerable.
We support other projects, too. We focus on the provision of food aid, disaster and emergency relief as well as religious education, amplifying voices, community projects and, more recently, sustainable farming and fruit tree sponsorship.
“DO NOT TURN AWAY A POOR MAN... EVEN IF ALL YOU CAN GIVE IS HALF A DATE. IF YOU LOVE THE POOR AND BRING THEM NEAR YOU... GOD WILL BRING YOU NEAR HIM.”
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
A movement that connects people worldwide to access knowledge and learn skills to build a fair and equal society.
Our Mission
To facilitate learning to marginalised communities and equip them with skills and tools to become the driving force of development.
Our core values are inspired by the Islamic principle, which honours society’s most marginalised and advocates caring for the vulnerable and the underprivileged throughout the world.
ILM encourages creativity and thinking out of the box to produce the most vanguard solutions. Our actions will focus on knowledge and skill development beyond what we can imagine today while being cautious of our footprint. If there is a learning process, there is no failure.
Leadership
Through coaching and support mechanisms, ILM creates development actors who lead progress according to their community needs. The relationships within ILM and outside the organisation is horizontal and holistic. The leader's role is to provide support to other development actors to become leaders; they do not position themselves above or in front of others.
Equity
Diversity within the decision making is crucial to ensure a fair and equal society. ILM will actively seek those who have been left aside and facilitate access to the development process while bridging the opportunity gap and providing tools to build their own progression path.
Amplify
ILM will channel the voices of those who have not been heard. With a holistic approach, we will serve as a platform to reach out to those marginalised, connect them with other development actors and influence policymaking. ILM provides a space for people to speak and promote active citizenship, so the learning movement expands.
Respect
The international dimension of ILM work and its diversity connects different cultures, ideologies and values, all linked through respect. We ensure the dignity of the project participants throughout our operations as well as communications. ILM will actively work to eliminate any victimisation of the project participants; they are people with rights.
Neutrality
ILM will actively promote human rights and facilitateawarenessof any pertinent matter relevant to development subjectswithout taking sides orpart in controversies of any kind, especially political, racial, religious or ideological.
Transparency
ILM will ensure its operations are honest and clear to the project participants and stakeholders, adding emphasisto bridge communication barriers. The organisation will work towardshigh level of record keeping and accountability through internal and external audits.
