Your Zakat is more than just for eating

Assalammualikum Wr. Wb.

Happy Ramadan. May your fasting be accepted by Allah SWT and provide good benefits for all.

Start from this year 2011 (1432 Hijriyah), MicroAid Projects Charity and I would like to help distribute alms from anyone who wants to give Zakat to groups of poor families in Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Kenya and Uganda.

Zakat that you provide will be directly channeled to groups of families who want to learn new home enterprise skills. New skills such as: making banana crisps, sewing for profit, vegetable gardening and others.

Why do we need to help?

The home enterprise skills will enable beneficiaries to open new business opportunities in small groups / families. Having the ability to start a home enterprise, they can live independently and not depend on help from others for the rest of their lives. The Zakat you provide is not simply just to feed them one day, but for the increase in welfare of the whole family.  This the real meaning of “growth” in Zakat.

Help another family to become self-reliant.  This is the main purpose of Zakat that you provide via Microaid Projects Charity. You can read the stories of families who have managed to live independently here.

Please help them now.

Thank you very much.

Walaikumsalam Wr. Wb.

About Zakat:

Zakat is one of the five Pillars of Islam.  Each year, Muslims give away a fixed percentage (generally 2.5%) of their wealth to benefit the poor and deprived.  It is considered an act of worship and purifying, for both the giver and the recipient.
