Zakat Africa | Your Account Closed in Peace

Drought has dried up water points and grazing land across Djibouti. A quarter of the country cannot get enough food and many herding families have lost their livelihood. Your Zakat Africa gift sits in its own zakat account apart from general donations. We act as your agent and give it to a Djibouti family that is eligible for zakat. Our local team goes to see the family and works out the zakat category that fits. You learn the family's region and what the drought took from them within 72 hours. Cash is put into the family's hands and they choose what to buy with it. The handover day goes into your account as well. A brief update three months later tells you how things are going for the family. Your receipt names the gift as zakat. We keep the family's identity to ourselves. May ALLAH accept this zakat and send rain to the dry land.

What Our Donors Say
Ayan
Columbus USA
The day my salary arrived I gave zakat to herders who could not feed their children. I still like that rhythm of giving.
Slamet
Bangkok Thailand
Herders with no food came into my mind early one morning. I sent off my zakat for them before work.
Kartika
Kuching Malaysia
A worker meets each hungry family face to face. I paid my zakat here that night feeling sure of it.
Aliyu
Houston USA
A family with children who lost their goats to drought had my zakat. When I checked in the app one day later I felt relieved to see it.
Bilan
Sheffield UK
About thirty thousand people there face emergency levels of hunger. I felt the weight of that number. I sent my zakat in March to a family there.
Amir
New York USA
Cash in hand reaches a family without wages faster than anything else. I sent the zakat as cash again this year. Doing it that way settled my doubts.
