Refugee Families Need Your Zakat
100% of funds are distributed to displaced persons.
In this month of Ramadan, show your compassion and generosity by giving to those in greatest need. Your donation with UNHCR will reach refugees and internally displaced families who are most vulnerable — and bring a small measure of peace and comfort to their lives.
Help us provide cash assistance to refugees and internally displaced people to help them buy the essentials they need.
UNHCR’s Refugee Zakat Fund is Sharia compliant, backed by 17 fatwas from leading Muslim scholars and institutions, including the Canadian Council of Imams.
60% of today’s refugees and IDPs are from OIC countries and fall under 4 out of 8 Zakat categories: Poor (Al Foqara’), Needy (Al Masakeen), Debtors (Al Gharimin), Wayfarers (Abna’ Al Sabeel)
- $76 can provide a core relief kit to support a family of two displaced by crises or disasters
- $158 can help a family with cash aid to secure shelter, food, water and medicine for a month
- $315 can help 2 families with cash aid to secure shelter, food, water and medicine for a month
- $659 can help 5 newly displaced families with core relief items, including blankets and kitchen sets
- $1,476 can help 10 refugee and displaced families to make ends meet for one month
- $5,905 can provide 40 refugee and displaced families to make ends meet for one month
In the month of compassion, let your Zakat restore hope and strength to recovering refugee communities.
