Cyclone Aila
Emergency Relief
Zakat aid distribution.
The destruction and human hardship caused by natural disasters demand the world’s attention. In May 2009 the heavy winds, rain and storm waters of Cyclone Aila struck the south-west coast of Bangladesh causing a level of destruction that affected the lives of nearly 2.3 million people. Zakat Foundation’s Bangladesh Office responded to the immediate distress felt by those who lost their homes and livelihoods by providing more than a thousand families with relief packages that included essential food items, fresh water, medicines and other necessary personal items.
Zakat Foundation of America, a Muslim charity that collects zakat, sadaqa / donations to provide humanitarian, emergency relief and sustainable development programs to empower lives throughout the world. We offer top Zakat resources including The Zakat Handbook: A Practical Guide for Muslims in the West, Zakat kit, ask an Imam feature, and you can calculate and pay zakat through our easy, online calculator.
