Two of the world's most recognised faith-based relief agencies signed a multi-million partnership agreement Tuesday, sending a message to the world that Christians and Muslims can work together to build a peaceful society.
The partnership between US-based United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) and the UK-based Muslim Aid could result in some $15m in direct relief to disaster, war and conflict strife areas in the world, such as Sri Lanka and Indonesia.
The estimated funds are in addition to the $9.8m already applied in Sri Lanka by the two groups for a total of $25m.
