Your support today brings hope and relief to those caught in the midst of this escalating crisis.
In this critical time, help families receive essentials:
Food Packages for $50 each ensure families don’t go hungry.

Our Work in Lebanon
Since 2001, Zakat Foundation supporters and relief specialists have been on the ground in Lebanon, aiding victims of war, conflict, and displacement through our Seasonal Islamic Giving Program. When the 2020 Beirut explosion struck, we responded immediately with Emergency Relief. Our teams also provide refugee children with education, vocational training, health clinics, food, medicine, and essential supplies. Every year, thousands of refugees receive full Ramadan Iftar meals. During Eid al-Adha, we deliver freshly slaughtered Udhiyah (Qurbani) sacrifices to those in need, ensuring they are supported with dignity and compassion.
