Who Are We?

MIAT Walsall

Midland International Aid Trust (MIAT) was formed in 2003 and registered in 2005. It was founded by Mr. Mohammed Aslam MBE and Professor Abdul Rashid Gatrad OBE, who is a nationally and internationally known pediatrician was appointed CEO in 2005. They met up in 1992 when they first helped with the plight of people in Bosnia and Kosovo.

Midland International Aid Trust aims to provide medical care where there is an established infrastructure. It also provides humanitarian aid globally (over 20 countries) to those areas affected by natural and man-made disasters – such as wars

Doctors of Rahmah (DOR), a group of 60 strong surgical specialists and anaesthetists approached Prof Gatrad, CEO of MIAT, for collaboration. Now MIAT is much bigger and has a wider reach in helping countries where rapid medical and surgical aid is needed due to natural or manmade disasters. Soon MIAT will be working with the United Nations to make it even more effective.

Environment

In 2017 professor Gatrad founded WASUP – World Against Single use Plastic to combat the scourge of single use plastic and the impacts of climate change.  This is a mini project of MIAT that is run by the professor. Now WASUP has ambassadors in over 50 countries. At MIAT and WASUP NO ONE gets paid.  

The 4 WASUP Project Objectives

  1. Raise awareness in all sectors of the community (schools, businesses, places of worship etc) through talks events and social media.
  2. Educate the children in schools about the dangers of plastic and teach them about recycling.
  3. Litter is picked both in the streets and the waterways by all sectors of the community.
  4. Putting pressure on manufacturers and supply chains to use less plastic in their packaging or some cases none.
