If you are using the Zakat App and have not yet made your Zakat contribution, you may still be reflecting on an important question:

“Can I be confident about where my Zakat is going?”

This is a valid and important consideration. Zakat is both an act of worship and a religious obligation, and it should be entrusted to a channel that upholds the highest standards of integrity, accountability, and compliance.

The UNHCR  Refugee Zakat Fund was established with this responsibility in mind.

More than 70,000 donors entrusted the UNHCR with their Zakat since 2017 and here is what distinguishes the UNHCR Refugee Zakat Fund:

Your Zakat Is Handled with Full Sharia Compliance

Many people delay giving Zakat because they want to be sure it is done correctly.

The Refugee Zakat Fund is:

• Endorsed by 18 fatwas from respected scholars [link to fatwas]
• Overseen by an independent Zakat Board
• Built on a system that ensures Sharia compliance at every step

From who receives Zakat to how it is delivered, everything is structured to respect the religious conditions of Zakat. Your intention is protected.

100% of Your Zakat Reaches Eligible Families

A common worry is: “How much actually reaches people in need?”

With this fund:

• 100% of your Zakat goes to eligible displaced families
• Administrative costs are covered through separate, non-Zakat funds

Your Zakat supports those who are Islamically entitled to receive it — including widows, orphans, and families who have lost everything to conflict and crisis.

You are not just donating. You are fulfilling a religious duty in a way that directly relieves hardship.

 Your Zakat Becomes Real, Immediate Relief

For a displaced family, your Zakat can mean:

• Food when cupboards are empty
• Rent so they are not forced onto the streets
• Warm clothes and blankets in winter
• Medicine for a sick child

Delivered as cash assistance, your Zakat allows families to decide what they need most — restoring dignity during the hardest moments of their lives.

 The App Makes Giving Simple and Transparent

If you’ve already installed the app, everything is ready for you:

• Calculate your Zakat accurately
• Donate securely in minutes
• Give Sadaqah anytime
• Stay connected to how support reaches families

It is designed to make fulfilling your Zakat easier — not complicated.
