Before the pump, my daughters walked two hours for water. Now they walk to school.
Like the palm, we plant what feeds the next generation.
We fund clean water, schooling and food for families in Pakistan, Yemen and Morocco, and we support neighbours here at home. Every project is run by people from the community it serves.

Questions donors ask
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes. UK taxpayers can add Gift Aid at checkout, which adds 25p to every pound at no cost to you.
Can I give my zakat through you?
Yes. Zakat is kept in a separate fund and spent only on eligible recipients, in line with guidance from our scholars' panel.
Can I choose which project I support?
Yes. Choose a programme on the donation page, or give to where it is needed most so we can respond to emergencies quickly.
How do I know the money arrived?
Monthly donors receive a short report with photos twice a year. Our audited accounts are published every summer.
Give your time
Pack parcels, teach a class online, translate reports or run a sponsored walk. Two hours a month makes a difference.
