Muslims Without Borders (MWB) was an international relief agency and aid organization. They cited themselves as the first entirely student-based development organization. MWB began in George Mason University in response to the 2010 Haiti earthquake. MWB was the first international NGO to enter Libya after the 2011 Libyan civil war broke out when they entered the country in a medical convoy on February 23, 2011.

On October 14, 2013, MWB changed its name to United Muslim Relief and has been operating under that name ever since. The change in name was precipitated by an agreement between MWB and Doctors Without Borders, recognizing "the importance of avoiding any confusion in name and mandate of aid organizations operating in conflict and other disaster zones."
