Get the highlights

A week that looks very
different from your normal one.

01

Raise £5,000.

We give you the tools, guidance and support to build your fundraiser and reach your target.

Fundraising ideas, campaign support and a team beside you from day one.

02

See where it goes.

Visit communities and projects supported through your fundraising, and see the work taking place on the ground.

Wells, food programmes, shelter and livelihood projects, seen with your own eyes.

03

Deliver aid yourself.

Help distribute essential support and meet some of the families receiving it.

You carry, you pack, you hand over, with the team guiding you throughout.

04

Meet the people behind the numbers.

Hear people's stories directly, instead of only seeing them through a screen.

You sit, you listen, you learn names.

05

Come back different.

You go to make an impact. Most volunteers discover the experience has an impact on them too.

Ask anyone who has been. Most are already planning their next one.

Salam's deployment programme includes aid distributions, beneficiary visits, fundraising for urgent cases encountered on the ground, Orphans Fun Days and visits to sustainability projects.

08:00

Breakfast. Briefing. Let's go.

Your Salam Charity deployment team runs through the day ahead.

Coffee, plan, roles for the day. Everyone knows their job before the vans leave.

09:00

On the road.

Travel out with the team and local partners.

Windows down, playlists on. The drive is where the team bonds.

10:30

Meet the community.

Visit families and hear directly about their circumstances.

No cameras first. You sit, you listen, you learn names.

12:30

Aid distribution.

Food. Hygiene supplies. Essential support. Whatever that day's project requires, you help hand it over.

You carry, you pack, you hand over, with the team guiding you throughout.

14:30

See the bigger picture.

Visit ongoing projects helping communities build greater independence.

Wells, livelihood projects, long-term work your fundraising also feeds into.

16:00Sometimes the plan changes

An urgent case.

You may meet a family or discover a situation that needs support right now. The team comes together. The fundraising starts again.

Urgent cases get scoped by the team and a live fundraiser often starts that same evening.

18:00

Back together.

Return to the hotel. Reflect on what happened. Prepare for tomorrow.

Dinner together, a short reflection circle, then rest. Tomorrow goes again.

Deployment working days usually run from around 9am until 5 to 6pm, followed by an evening reflection session with the team.

Choose what you want to experience

No two deployments
are exactly the same.

The human side

It's serious work.
That doesn't mean you won't love it.

You will work. You will laugh. You will probably be exhausted.

You'll meet people you never would have met otherwise. And you'll do it alongside a team that came for exactly the same reason you did.

To make a difference.
