Seasonal & Charity Projects Program
These projects are bounded to specific seasons every year to meet poor people needs.
Seasonal Projects
Zakat ul-Fitr
Zakat ul-Fitr is a manifestation of solidarity and compassion between Muslims in the Blessed Ramadan. Hence, IZS plays a crucial role in mainstreaming this principle on the ground and connect with caring people and sponsors on one hand and needy and poor families on the other.
Ramadan Package
IZS distributes food packages to needy and poor families during Ramadan (Food package components depend on families’ basic needs).
Eid Gift (Eidya)
Generous and caring people distribute cash gifts in Eid ul-Fitr and Eid al-Adha to orphans and disadvantaged children registered at the IZS in an effort to help them buy what they need at Eid. Cash gift (Eidya) is an additional support to poor and low-income families in order to ease the expenses burden at Eid and to make their children feel happy like other children in the community.
Meat Distribution (Aqeeqah, Vow, Charity)
Benevolent Muslims sponsor shares of meat to needy and poor people around the year.
Winter Clothing
Orphans and poor family members registered at the IZS receive winter clothes from both IZS and sponsors.
School Bags and Uniform
IZS spares no effort to ease poor families suffering, so it introduces school bags, stationery and uniform to poor orphans and children at the beginning of each year.
Providing Iftar (dinner)
IZS provides Iftar meals to poor fasting families during the holy month in order to feed them, ease their suffering and awaken the principle of solidarity and compassion as Prophet Mohammed, peace and blessing be upon him, said “Whoever provides the food for a fasting person to break his fast with, then for him is the same reward as the fasting person, without anything being diminished from the reward of the fasting person.”
Eid Clothing
During Eid ul-Fitr and Eid ul-Adha, IZS distributes the expenses of Eid clothes to needy families in order to make them delight and to draw a smile on their faces as an obedience to what Messenger of Allah, peace and blessing be upon him, said “Amongst the deeds most loved by Allah are (for a person) to bring joy to his fellow believer by satiating his hunger, clothing him, relieving his distress or paying off his debt”.
Al-Udhiya (Sacrifice Livestock)
During the days of Eid ul-Adha, Muslims have the opportunity to follow the tradition of Prophet Ibrahim of donating fresh meat to hundreds of poor and needy families through the IZS Udhiya project every year.
