How we help Orphans in our community through your Zakat and Sadaqah
Friend In our discussions with people in the community, one of the most common points of interest is who and how we help as a result of people's Zakat and Sadaqah being given to NZF.
One part of our community that we're especially passionate about transforming is our orphans.
Orphans are among the most vulnerable members of our community: children left either without both parents or without their father (as Islam defines them).
Whether they are coming from a refugee background (as many of our recipients are) or are from our local community, they often become locked into cycles of poverty and lack of opportunity.
Through our case workers, we assess the cases of orphans in our network and support them through both financial support and services with our wide network of service partners. They help orphans set up for life by giving them key opportunities they wouldn't otherwise have.
This Ramadan, as you calculate and consider your Zakat, remember that your Zakat can help make a transformative difference to the lives of our most vulnerable right here in our community. |
