100% Zakat policy · Zakat is never used for admin

When drought hits Kenya's arid north, families lose their water, their livestock, and their children's place in school. We get there first.

Compassion & Service

We go where the need is: drought-hit villages, marginalised counties, families with nowhere else to turn.

Transparency & Accountability

In the 1990s we were the first Muslim organisation in Kenya to publish all our activities and financials. Accounts are audited every year, and full audited accounts are available at our office on request.

Education First

Our mission is poverty alleviation through education, from school fees for bright, needy students to a six-year Islamic and secular curriculum at Al-Furqan.

Without Discrimination

From our founding we resolved to work with local communities regardless of race, religion or gender.

Your Zakat, delivered in full.

Zakat is an amanah, and we treat it as one. Under our 100% Zakat policy, every shilling you give in Zakat reaches eligible beneficiaries; nothing is ever taken for admin or operations. We channel it into food relief, education, and support for widows and orphans: dignified, lasting help across Kenya.
