National Zakat Foundation Canada x PSSAR

Support Palestinian Students & Scholars at Risk

Palestinian schools and universities have been systematically destroyed, shattering an entire generation's future. The Palestinian Students and Scholars at Risk (PSSAR) initiative has connected these students with academic opportunities in Canada. Now, we have partnered with PSSAR to support these students with their critical needs needs so they can focus on their education.

WHY WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT

Since November 2023, you have helped us distribute over $1.5 million to over 351 families from Gaza, transforming their lives. Learn more here.

Now, we turn to you once again to assist Palestinian students and scholars. The ongoing terror has destroyed some of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Gaza, endangering the futures of Palestinians.

PSSAR is dedicated to connecting these students with graduate and research opportunities in Canada, providing them a chance to rebuild their lives.  

With your support, National Zakat Foundation can further support these students and scholars by addressing their critical needs, including food, housing, and utilities to ensure they can focus on their growth and healing without the added stress of food and housing insecurity.

Together, we must ensure that the destruction of educational institutions does not mean the end of their futures.
