In poor underdeveloped countries, the lack of specialized medical infrastructure means babies born with congenital heart defects have little or no access to necessary treatment.

Muntada Aid believes ignoring this deadly killer is tantamount to a death sentence for the many children born with this disease. Most of these conditions can be fixed, but children suffer due to a lack of resources, infrastructure, and specialist medical staff.

We are committed to children with CHD and provide them with an opportunity for a healthy life.

Little Hearts is Muntada Aid’s flagship project and was launched in April 2012.

Denzel Malula is a 6-year-old child, diagnosed with coronary heart disease, which narrows or blocks arteries preventing and minimising vital blood flow to the heart. With the tireless work of our Tanzanian team, Denzel was provided with a PDA device closure and was in good spirits before he was discharged after his successful procedure.

At the heart of Little Hearts is the noble mission of saving children's lives worldwide. We do this by sending medical teams to countries of deployment, building permanent cardiac centres, and building capacity in the countries where we operate.

A shining example of this model is our work in Tanzania.

Back in 2016, there were no doctors at the centre who could perform any interventions and operations on children at this centre. Our Little Hearts team was the first to perform heart operations on children that year, and since then, our visiting teams, through constant training and guidance, have helped build capacity among the local team, which now performs complex heart operations on children at this centre.

A JOURNEY LIKE NO OTHER

Hijrah Ride is a flagship partnership between Muntada Aid and H&KCC. This annual cycling event is a three-day marathon in which riders from various parts of the UK cycle from Mecca to Madinah, covering a distance of over 550 kilometres between the two of Islam's holiest mosques.

The journey symbolises the migration that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) took as he fled persecution in Mecca and sought safety in Madinah.

The fourth edition of Hijrah Ride, also known as Hijrah Ride 1446, is scheduled for January 2025.

During the first three editions of Hijrah Ride, we raised over £396,000 for projects helping children with healthcare & providing emergency aid to those fleeing war.
