IMRC can distribute your obligatory Zakatul-Fitr among the poor in the form of grains or in local currency. Fitra is just $7 per person.
In 2007, food and clothing were distributed to 57,300 impoverished women, children and elderly people. More than twice the number of recipients from 2006! Roughly 65 villages and 82 slum areas received 11,000 clothes for Eid and 233,818 kilograms of food. Generous donations from our donors make successes like this possible. Image
Ramadan is known to be the time when we calculate our Zakat-ul-Maal and seek opportunities to give. Through your Zakat-ul-Maal you can reach the orphans, the needy and the oppressed through IMRC’s several programs around education, employment, health care, human rights.
