Muslim Aid’s interim chief executive Khalid Javid has taken the role permanently.
He joined as temporary CEO at the international aid charity in February and leads it on a permanent basis from this month.
Javid launched his career in fundraising at Muslim Aid 16 years ago and is a former UK director at Physicians Across Continents, leading aid initiatives in Cambodia, Bangladesh, Somalia, Sudan, Mauritania and Nigeria.
Among his priorities is supporting people impacted in the UK by the cost-of-living crisis. This includes delivering more than 30,000 meals in Tower Hamlets this year. Almost half of children live below the poverty line in the London borough, which has the highest child poverty rate in the UK.
"I am honoured and genuinely excited to lead Muslim Aid into its next chapter. I truly believe in the power of Khidmah (Service) which is one of Muslim Aid’s values, to transform society.
"I will continue to make sure the prophetic example of service to humanity is at the centre of everything we do,” said Javid.
Muslim Aid chair Mustafa Faruqi, added, “Khalid’s longstanding passion for our mission and the positive impact he’s made on our staff, donors and beneficiaries during his interim tenure, makes him the ideal leader for the next phase of Muslim Aid’s development.”
