Trust us with your Zakat

Your Zakat donations can help transform the lives of vulnerable people in South Asia

Donate your Zakat

A number of our projects are Zakat eligible. Your Zakat can provide support to women from disadvantaged communities to get livelihoods training so they can build better lives for themselves and their families. It can also give mental health support to people struggling alone without much hope for help.

Thank you for giving Zakat and bringing hope to the lives of many.


We take great care in managing your Zakat donation, conducting due diligence on the partners we work with and providing evidence of impact through project reports and case studies.

  • Zakat donations will benefit only those eligible to receive it. The poor and the needy are the two categories stipulated in The Quran (9:60) that benefit from the British Asian Trust's Zakat projects. 
  • Zakat donations are always acknowledged. When we distribute Zakat, we make sure that the programme participants are aware it is a Zakat donation.
