ZAKAT
As one of the Five Pillars of Islam, Zakat is a required annual giving for Muslims set at 2.5% of one's surplus wealth, aimed at cleansing the soul and assisting the needy through a ‘purification’ of wealth. It is a deeply spiritual concept in the Islamic faith and considered as important as praying and fasting. At Ethar Relief, your Zakat is used with the utmost care to support refugees and displaced communities in the Horn of Africa and Yemen.
The concept of Zakat is a beautiful one in terms of its ability to help the refugees of East Africa: It places the responsibility to assist the poor and needy onto every single individual person who has a bit extra to spare. This way, everyone who has some savings contributes a little of their wealth to those who have almost nothing.CALCULATE &

HOW YOUR ZAKAT HELPS
How Your Zakat Makes a Difference
In line with Islamic rulings on its distribution, your Zakat is given as cash, granted to eligible poor people, specifically to the refugees and displaced people across camps in East Africa. Where cash grants are not viable or useful to the recipient, your zakat could directly fund food distribution, providing vital nutrition to displaced families, or support educational scholarships for children in refugee camps.
In addition to the cash grants mentioned above, your Zakat makes an incredible difference in all our Zakat-eligible projects.
