Be the Ansaar
Hundreds of families from Gaza and Sudan have been forced to flee their homes, leaving behind everything they know and love. Now, they need our help to rebuild a life and home where they can heal and regain their independence.

Healthy Hearts is a multi-week journey to better health and stronger communities! Over the course of several weeks, join us for a series of energizing workouts, insightful workshops, cooking demos, and even gardening sessions—all designed to help you live healthier while giving back.
Support Sudanese Evacuees
Since the start of the ongoing conflict in Sudan, countless families have been forced to flee their homes, leaving behind everything they know and love. Many have sought refuge in Canada, hoping for safety and a chance to rebuild their lives. Due to a lack of media attention, they have not received the support they desperately need. At National Zakat Foundation, we are committed to stepping in as champions for these families.

Gaza Evacuee Supported by You
May Allah SWT grant you all your wishes in this world and the next for helping me in my most desperate situation.

Jazakallah kheir.

A simple "thank you" or prayer for you is not enough to express my gratitude. You relieved my hardship and brought joy to my heart and my children's hearts. May Allah bring joy to your hearts, ease your affairs, and grant you goodness in this world and the Hereafter. May Allah open doors for you as you have relieved our worries, O Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. You have proven that the world is still full of goodness, and all praise is due to Allah. My son and daughter pray for your well-being and peace of mind.
