All you need to do is insert your information into the various fields, and our Zakat calculator will do the hard work for you! You will be provided with the total Zakat donation you need to make.

How can you make people donate to charity?

  When trying to raise funds for charitable initiatives or projects, one of the most important things is to communicate what the need is on the ground, and why this work is important. People are more likely to support your work when they can see how dangerous, impoverished or miserable the situation is on the ground. Using statistics, images and live updates is a great way to be able to clearly show the situation on the ground. While showing the need on the ground and the suffering, it is also important to show the potential impact of the project, and the great things it can achieve. This helps those giving money to see the value of their donations and be inclined to give more.
