OIC Marks International Day of Charity

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) joines the international community in observing the International Day of Charity on September 5, a day dedicated to promoting the values of compassion, generosity, and solidarity worldwide.

 This occasion underscores the pivotal role of charity in alleviating poverty, responding to humanitarian crises, and strengthening social cohesion within societies.

The OIC observance of this day reaffirms its steadfast commitment to the principles and values of the noble Islamic faith, its Charter, and its Ten-Year Programme of Action, particularly compassion, mutual support, and social justice. 

The OIC stresses that charitable giving, in all its forms, is a cornerstone for building resilience, reducing inequality, and advancing sustainable development within its Member States and beyond.

Through its humanitarian activities, development initiatives, and close cooperation with Member States, relevant OIC institutions, and international partners, the Organization continues to support charitable programs that provide food security, healthcare, education, and emergency relief to vulnerable populations. These efforts embody the OIC’s enduring mission of solidarity, joint Islamic action, and service to humanity.

The OIC General Secretariat expresses its deep appreciation to Member States, charitable institutions, humanitarian partners, and donors for their continuous contributions in assisting communities affected by conflicts, displacement, and natural disasters. Their generosity remains a vital source of hope and dignity for millions around the world.
