Zakat is a mandatory form of charity in Islam. It is one of the Five Pillars and requires Muslims to donate a fixed portion (usually 2.5%) of their eligible wealth to support those in need.

Any Muslim who owns wealth above the Nisab threshold for a full Islamic year (Hawl) is obligated to pay Zakat.

Zakat is paid once every Islamic year (lunar year) when your wealth has remained above the Nisab for 12 months.

At every step, and with every donation, we are focused on helping vulnerable children, their families and communities break the cycle of poverty. We work with the teams in our field offices and partners on the ground to help ensure that every cent is going where it is needed most – as they know the needs and the communities best. You can view our Appeals page to see the specific projects and countries we are raising money for right now if you wish to make a more targeted donation, otherwise, your donation will be gratefully received and wisely used where it will make the most impact. We regularly share stories about how your donation is changing lives for good – through our website, social media, and WhatsApp so follow us to watch your donation in action! 

As part of our registration with the ACNC, each year we submit annual financial reports to demonstrate how your donation is being spent – you can see these reports here on the ACNC website.

You can stay informed about how your donations are impacting disadvantaged communities through following our social medias
