Your zakat has the power to change lives.

There is no better time for generosity than in Ramadan. Your acts of kindness not only benefit those in need, but also bring you blessings and rewards from Allah SWT. It is a beautiful way to strengthen one’s faith, and to make a positive impact on the world.

The reality today is that more than 700 million people around the world live within extreme poverty. Millions of families and children across the globe do not have access to food, safe drinking water, or a sustainable income. With the rise of conflict, climate change, inflation and the repercussions of a pandemic, many countries are facing heightened levels of poverty and distress.

In the face of this collective pain, it is our duty to help people in need.

After the earthquake, the staff ensured I received food, water, and essential supplies directly at my door. They even provided extra cleaning items when I requested them, making a difficult time more manageable. I am truly grateful for their care and support.

I can’t describe the happiness I’m experiencing right now. For so long, my family and I struggled every day to fetch water from a distant well, a task that was exhausting and made even harder after losing my father. The lack of water impacted our health and hygiene, and I constantly worried about the illnesses spreading in our neighborhood. But today, it feels like a dream come true to have clean water within reach.

As a mother who has to care for her two children under difficult conditions and cannot provide them with enough food, this distribution is a sign that my prayers have been answered.

We are so happy about this initiative. Providing additional toilets for bathrooms and gas for cooking will significantly improve our school and create a healthier, more supportive environment for our students.
