Your Zakat is a lifeline for hundreds of thousands of people who have fled their homes with nothing
The number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Nigeria, who have fled conflict and violence, has now reached over 3.2 million people. Recent violent attacks by non-start armed groups have forced families to flee their homes often more than once. Your Zakat donation can provide urgent support to IDP families needing the resources and tools to rebuild their lives.
You can calculate your Zakat here and rest assured that 100% of your Zakat will go directly to the world’s most vulnerable.

The Fund does not charge any fees in distributing Zakat
The Refugee and IDP Zakat Fund is now available in Nigeria for Nigerians to support vulnerable forcibly displaced IDP families in northern Nigeria.
When you donate your Zakat, you can be rest assured that 100% of Zakat donation is distributed to the most vulnerable Nigeran IDP families in critical need of support.
Exceptionally for the Refugee and IDP Zakat Fund, UNHCR has waived its standard 6.5% indirect support costs, to ensure that 100% of your Zakat goes directly to the most vulnerable families.
Any expenses associated with the distribution of Zakat are covered by other sources of funding to UNHCR.
All Zakat received by UNHCR is strictly channeled through Zakat-compliant assistance programmes that complement other forms of aid provided by UNHCR. You can read how your Zakat has made a difference in our annual reports which you can find here.
