Give Zakat to Change Lives

Dear respected community members,In the spirit of compassion that defines our faith and the bonds that unite our society, we extend this heartfelt call to action. Your Zakat isn’t just a religious obligation—it’s a powerful force for transformation in the lives of those struggling in our beloved Bangladesh. Together, We Can Build a Better Bangladesh Every neighborhood in our city has those who sleep hungry, children unable to attend school, and families without proper shelter. As neighbors and fellow citizens, we share a responsibility to uplift one another.

Sponsor a child program

Every child holds limitless potential — and education is the key to unlocking it.
Sadly, for many children, financial hardship turns education into a distant dream. For the past 17 years, we’ve been working to change that.
Through our Sponsor A Child Program, we’ve provided quality education to over 5,000 children from underserved communities across the country. Now, you can be part of this life-changing journey. With just BDT 2,500 per month, you can give a child the gift of education and the chance to build a brighter future. Help change a life today. Sponsor a Child.
