How your Zakat donation supports vulnerable people

Last year, we reached more than 11,500,000 people in over 20 Muslim-majority countries around the world, helping families access food, water and support. Our programmes mean communities are not only surviving, but thriving.

Action Against Hunger has been working with Muslim communities since 1980. When you donate Zakat, you’re allowing us to continue our vital, life-saving work.
