Every penny of your Zakat goes to those in need!
As one of the five pillars of the Muslim faith, Zakat is an essential act of worship in Islam. Translating from Arabic as ‘a means to grow, to increase, and to purify,’ Zakat is a way in which we can cleanse our wealth and assets while upholding our duty to give to those less fortunate.
For a 16th incredible year, Penny Appeal is proud to continue to have a 100% Zakat Donation Policy. That means that you can give yours with ease and confidence, knowing that 100% of your Zakat will go directly towards those who need it 100% of the time, giving you 100% of the reward.
After all, our noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: “When you pay the Zakat, you have fulfilled what is required of you.” [Tirmidhi]
Cash Sponsorships
At 67 years old, Mazhar Hussain’s life is a daily battle. Disabled and too weak to walk, he depends on his struggling nephew to survive. With no income, no mobility, and no way to afford even the most basic necessities, Mazhar was trapped in a cycle of hardship.
Then came your Zakat.
In April 2024, as Eid approached, Mazhar received Rs. 8000 in cash support from Penny Appeal’s Zakat cash sponsorships — directly into his hands, giving him the power to choose what he needed most. Without hesitation, he bought essential medicine which was the key to easing his pain, restoring his health, and reclaiming his dignity - Alhmadulillah!
This is the true impact of Zakat cash. It doesn’t just provide aid, it empowers. It gives people like Mazhar the freedom to decide what will change their lives for the better.
Your Zakat, their choice. Give today and restore dignity to those in need.

Penny Appeal will always endeavour to use your donation as intended, wherever possible.

But rest assured your donation is in the best hands!
When you opt to give ‘where most needed’, you’re helping to support the most vulnerable communities in the world right now. We work with experts in the field as well as our established partners on the ground to assess which exact countries, communities, and beneficiaries are most in need and allocate your donations accordingly.
