Creating Sustainable Change and Uplifting Communities
The Zakat Foundation™ Nepal, a prominent humanitarian organization dedicated to alleviating poverty and empowering underprivileged communities, recently released its Annual Report for the year 2007. This comprehensive report highlights the Foundation's relentless efforts in utilizing the principles of Zakat to bring about positive change in the lives of those in need.
Zakat: A Powerful Instrument of Change
Zakat, one of the five pillars of Islam, is a religious obligation for Muslims to donate a portion of their wealth to support those less fortunate. The Zakat Foundation™ Nepal serves as a catalyst in facilitating this act of charity, ensuring that the funds are distributed effectively and efficiently to maximize their impact.
Key Highlights of the Annual Report
