100% of your Zakat will be delivered as cash assistance to displaced families for food and water. Give your Zakat today.

Your support is urgently needed to help those who are caught up in the deadly violence. 

Women and children piled in trucks fleeing war, hunger, and thirst.

And after months of walking, they reach the camps.

But when we talk about everyday life, the basics are missing.

There's no water, food, health, education, or sanitation services, exposing vulnerable groups to heightened risks. 

Mothers quietly skip meals so their children can eat. Older people live alone in cold rooms, with no one to turn to. Families are doing everything they can to survive, yet still falling behind because the support simply isn’t enough.  

For displaced families, the holy month of Ramadan—once a time of togetherness, reflection, and joy—is now filled with uncertainty and hardship. 

But through UNHCR’s Refugee Zakat Fund, you can make a real difference.  100% of your Zakat reaches eligible families—with no deductions—providing one of the most direct, dignified forms of support.
 
For many, it is the difference between breaking their fast with a meal or going without.  

Your Help Matters:

Three years into the start of the conflict, the humanitarian needs are as urgent today as when the crisis began. Fighting continues, killing civilians, destroying essential infrastructure and violently forcing thousands to flee every day to save their lives.

Sudan is now the world’s largest displacement crisis: 1 in 3 Sudanese live in exile.  14 million people have been forced to flee since April 2023.  Nearly 12 million remain displaced. The conflict has involved extreme levels of violence and human rights violations against civilians, including sexual violence, torture, arbitrary killings, extortion of civilians, and targeting of specific ethnic groups.

Sudan is also facing the worst levels of food insecurity in its history. Refugees in Sudan face highest levels of food insecurity, with about 62 percent having poor or borderline food consumption and heavily relying on increasingly reduced food rations from humanitarians.

How You Can Help:

Your Zakat can be a lifeline to displaced families through UNHCR’s Refugee Zakat Fund—a trusted and Sharia-compliant way to fulfill your Zakat. Make your contribution count.

Your donation—no matter the size—will help UNHCR continue delivering life-saving support to families who urgently need safety and hope. 

Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of refugees, bringing hope to those in need.

About UNHCR Refugee Zakat Fund

100% Zakat Distribution Policy

The Refugee Zakat Fund is a trusted, compliant, and effective Zakat distributor.

Since its inception, over 8.9 million beneficiaries have been assisted with Zakat and Sadaqah through the Refugee Zakat Fund.

Zakat contributions received via UNHCR’s Refugee Zakat Fund are kept in a dedicated interest-free bank account, strictly used for Zakat-compliant (cash or goods) distribution activities in identified countries, targeting eligible displaced populations and host communities. Endorsed by more than 18 fatwas, the Fund is subject to rigorous governance and oversight, ensuring transparency at every step from contributing to delivery of assistance.

Why are displaced persons eligible for Zakat?

Most of the the world’s displaced population falls under at least four of the eight categories of Zakat recipients mentioned in Qur’an 9:60, including:
• Al Fuqara – (the Poor)
• Al Masakeen – (the Needy)
• Al Gharimin – (the Debtors)
• Abna’ Al Sabeel – (the Stranded Travellers)

Act now. Save lives.

Don’t forget about Sudan.
