Sadaqah and general donations

Sadaqah and General Fund gifts are used where the need is greatest across our programs, including education, poverty relief, emergency support, and dignity and quality of life.

Donations to a specific project

When you give to a specific project, we use your gift for that project. If a project raises more than it needs, or can no longer go ahead, we will use the funds for a similar purpose that is as close as possible to your intent. [TO CONFIRM]
