Yes. This campaign is fully Zakat-eligible. Following the expert guidance of the Islamic Finance Advisory (IFA), your Zakat is distributed directly to those in need via cash or vouchers, ensuring the specific Shari’ah requirements for Zakat are met.

We have been on the ground serving the Ummah since 2013. Trust is built on transparency and a proven track record:

• We are certified by the Islamic Finance Advisory (IFA), ensuring our financial and distributive practices are ethically and religiously sound.
• We have a long history of working in the world’s most challenging and hard-to-reach regions, including Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, Sudan, and Gaza.

We don’t just send aid; we track it. To ensure your Amanah is fulfilled, we provide:

• Orphan Profiles: Donors who sponsor an orphan for 1 year (£480) receive specific details about the children they are supporting.
• Direct Feedback: We provide video updates from the orphans and their guardians so you can see the impact of your mercy first-hand.

While official aid corridors face extreme restrictions, commercial routes are still operational. Goods are available on the local market, though often at inflated rates. By providing cash or vouchers, we empower guardians to purchase essential food, medicine, and supplies directly from these available local sources, ensuring the children don't go without.

Yes, we have been active in Gaza since 2013. Our work isn't just emergency relief; it’s about building a future. Over the last decade, we have:

• Built permanent homes and schools.
• Established Hifz centres and sponsored educational programs.
• Distributed Zakat and managed long-term orphan sponsorships.
• We are currently operating a ‘Tent City’ called Dar Al Izzah in Gaza to provide immediate shelter to displaced families.

Our team consists of local Gazans who have been working with us for over 8 years. These are members of the community who know the terrain and the families best. To meet the scale of the current Orphan Appeal, we are actively increasing our local team’s capacity to ensure every child is accounted for.

Funds are distributed directly to the legal guardians of the orphans. This ensures that the primary caregivers have the means to provide a dignified life, stable nutrition, and safety for the children under their care.
