IMWS Jordan Visit 2025
The representatives from Indian Muslim Welfare Society (IMWS), based in Batley, West Yorkshire have visited Refugee Camps in Jordan to witness the impact of community aid.
The IMWS representatives have recently returned from Palestinian and Syrian refugee camps in Jordan where they have seen at firsthand how the community’s financial contributions are transforming lives on the ground.
The visit, which took place between 26th to 30th April 2025, included tours of refugee camps in Jerash, Irbid, and Mafraq where tens of thousands of displaced families are receiving critical humanitarian support. The IMWS has been actively fundraising for emergency relief and development projects, including the provision of food parcels, medical aid and education for refugees.
“This was a deeply moving experience,” said Mohamed Mulla, one of the IMWS representatives (and also Vice Chair). “Meeting families who have endured unimaginable hardships, yet still continuing to express such gratitude for the assistance provided by donors back home, was both humbling and inspiring.”
During the visit, the IMWS representatives met with officials from Islamic Relief (the local NGO partner in Jordan) and aid workers, visited schools and medical clinics, and spoke directly with refugees to understand their ongoing needs. The aid delivered through IMWS is helping ensure families receive regular food supplies, children have access to education and the most vulnerable are provided with essential healthcare.
“The people of Batley have shown incredible generosity within such a short period of time” said Mahmood Ebrahim Patel, another one of the IMWS representatives (and also Chair of the Charity Subcommittee). “Your donations are making a real difference: giving hope, dignity, and vital support to communities who continue to face immense challenges.”
The IMWS remains committed to supporting international humanitarian efforts and plans to continue its collaboration with our trusted partner in Jordan to ensure funds are used effectively and responsibly.
