Ramadan Iftar Meals
Communal iftar meals through Ramadan, served where families cannot provide one.
₹150 provides one iftar meal.
Seasonal
Zakat al-Fitr
Fitrana, distributed before Eid prayer
Timing is the obligation
Zakat al-Fitr must reach its recipients before the Eid prayer. Given afterwards it becomes an ordinary sadaqah, which is good but is not the same thing.
We close this appeal early enough to distribute in time, and we say so on the page rather than taking donations we cannot deliver.
The per-person amount is set against the local price of a staple each year. TODO_CLIENT: confirm this year's figure and the cut-off date.

Giving with amanah
Your donation is an amanah — a trust held on your behalf, and on behalf of the household that receives it. We treat it as money that is not ours, because it is not.
That means buying at market rates and keeping the quotes, signing every handover against a register, and publishing accounts that an auditor has seen before you have.
Our promise to you
We will tell you what your donation funded, including when it did not go to plan. We will not publish a figure we cannot evidence — you will find outstanding markers on this site rather than estimates.
And we will never use a photograph of someone in distress to raise money from you.
Questions
