Hidaya Foundation collects and distributes Zakat donations per Islamic guidelines as mentioned in Al-Quran, Surah At-Tawbah, Chapter 9, Verse 60.


Though Zakat funds are almost always distributed directly by Hidaya Foundation’s own team, it sometimes becomes necessary to engage other reliable organizations and partners in order to extend Hidaya’s reach.  Zakat funds are used to support orphans, widows, poor elderly, families in extreme poverty, poor women for marriage, deserving students, poor medical patients, and people affected by disaster.

 

Hidaya utilizes Zakat donations under the following projects: No Orphan without EducationJob Skills TrainingSpread EducationSupport Hidaya SchoolsHidaya Institute of Farming and Agriculture, Clean Drinking WaterMedical AssistanceMedical CampsBasic Computer SkillsSoftware Development TrainingSystem Administration TrainingAnimal Farming, Farmer AssistanceSmall Businesses for the PoorDisaster ReliefMarriage SupportWidow/Orphan SupportOne Million Meals, and Zakat Distribution.


The proper distribution of Zakat is a personal responsibility. You are encouraged to give Zakat yourself, preferably or to a reliable organization who has the ability to distribute Zakat per Islamic guidelines.
