About Us
Driven by Compassion, We Reach the Most Vulnerable to Create Lasting Change and Brighter Futures
Through compassionate action and deep commitment, we stand with the world’s most vulnerable—delivering aid, restoring dignity, and building pathways to a brighter, more hopeful future for all.
Our Story
What began as a simple act of compassion has grown into a global movement of mercy. Rahma Worldwide was founded on the belief that no one should suffer alone—that every life holds value and every community deserves hope. Over the past years, we’ve walked alongside the brokenhearted, responded to crises, and helped rebuild shattered lives. Our journey has been filled with challenges, but even more with resilience, love, and the unwavering power of humanity.
We invite you to watch our 10th anniversary video—a story of faith, impact, and the lives you’ve helped us touch. This is more than a milestone. It’s a reminder of what we can do together.
