How it works
When you donate a waqf share today, it is pooled in a Sharia-compliant fund. Within one year of your donation, your waqf share generates profit to help provide emergency aid projects such as food, clean water, shelter to families in crisis. We purchase an asset that will provide profit, but even before your asset is purchased, your waqf share gets to work. Since our inception in 2023, we’ve purchased three properties and we aim to continue purchasing.

“One hospital in Gaza City – the Patient Friendly Hospital where I was yesterday – sees 60 to 80 children each and every day being admitted for malnutrition and other illnesses.”
“Two days ago, I met children in Nasser hospital who have been paralysed, burnt, or had limbs amputated following direct hits on tents, all at approximately two in the morning. A few days earlier, at Al Aqsa hospital, I met many children who had been shot by quadcopters.”
“When the world adjusts and normalizes this level of violence and deprivation, something is profoundly broken.”
James Elder, UNICEF
Why direct your waqf to emergency aid?
Across the world, the scale and number of emergencies has overwhelmed communities. More than 305 million people need humanitarian aid. In recent years, there has been more armed conflicts than there has been since World War II, and 120 million people have been forced to flee their homes.
In Sudan, the largest humanitarian crisis since records began continues to unfold, with over 30 million people in need of humanitarian relief. Across the globe, 295 million people are facing extreme levels of hunger.
Donating you waqf to our emergency aid projects ensures that you continue to help families in crisis year after year.
