How Your Zakat Changes Lives

1. How Your Zakat Changes Lives Your Zakat is a beautiful form of charity, and one of the five pillars of Islam; it is a form of giving that removes you from greed and provides the less fortunate with the support they need. When you make your Zakat donations with Penny Appeal, our 100% Zakat policy assures that 100% of your donations are going straight to the people who need it most – giving you 100% of the rewards! In 2019, all your Zakat donations helped us care for orphans, support the elderly, promote education, deliver food to the hungry and provide fresh, clean water to those in need, Alhamdulillah! We were able to provide aid to thousands of people because of your Zakat, and that’s brought on some life-changing results. It’s once again time to make a difference with your Zakat but before going off to calculate your Zakat or choosing one of our appeals to send your Zakat to, let’s have a look at some of the wonderful things you did with your Zakat last year! people in Northern Uganda! With Zakat donations to our Thirst Relief appeal, we were able to build Solar Pump Water Wells in three villages throughout the Yumbe and Arua districts of Northern Uganda.

2. Each well is equipped with ten water taps so there is no longer an issue with collecting water or having to wait for it. Communities in these districts have always faced a challenge when it comes to having access to safe, clean water, but thanks to your Zakat thousands of people now no longer have to worry about dirty water, Alhamdulillah. Mr Kassim, a community leader from one of the villages in Yumbe, was so full of gratitude and joy for their new Solar Pump Water Well and the gift of water that was brought to them.
