As a Zakat charity, we spend your Zakat donations in the most effective way possible to relieve the suffering of the world’s most vulnerable people. We spend Zakat funds on the first category of Zakat – the poor and needy. We take the responsibility of delivering your donations very seriously. We know that we are accountable to you, to the people we serve, and, ultimately, to Allah SWT.
Who receives my Zakat?
- - The poor and needy
- - The destitute
Zakat cannot be used to build mosques, to bury the deceased, or to clear the debt of the deceased.
Your Zakat is distributed by Global Rahmah Foundation to those in need, to our brothers and sisters to remind them that they are not forgotten. Your Zakat will see them on their way to becoming happier, healthier and better adjusted, so they may become the Zakat givers in the future, not the receivers.

Zakat Donations: Your donations enable us to save lives
Your Zakat has funded some of our crucial work with people and communities living in disaster and war zones: drought and famine-struck countries across East Africa and communities affected by conflict in Syria. Your generosity has enabled communities to build sustainable livelihoods in the face of climate change, and enabled better lives for vulnerable orphans and families across the globe.
Alhamdulillah, you have the power to transform people’s lives.
