Zakat is an obligatory charity for Muslims who can afford it. With your Zakat donations, Hope Welfare Trust has helped thousands of people in need and continues to do so. Many patients battling serious illnesses have received life-saving treatments, including cancer care, heart surgeries, brain procedures for eye conditions, foot operations, and haemophilia support.
Additionally, many families have received monthly food rations and Ramadan packages. Children from low-income households are continuing their education through scholarships. Communities in remote areas are benefiting from clean drinking water through our water projects.
