Sponsor Someone in Need With Your Zakat

This Ramadan, your Zakat can help those who rely on us for cancer support across Pakistan. For more than 31 years, you’ve helped bring comfort and ease to families in need who would otherwise face this test alone.

Every contribution you make supports those who qualify for Zakat under Islamic rules. Sponsor someone in need this Ramadan, and help extend that support throughout the year.

We would like to reassure our donors that Shaukat Khanum accounts are operating as normal, with no restrictions in place. Our founder is unable to make an appeal for those who rely on our support through Shaukat Khanum in Pakistan. In his absence, you can continue helping them with your Zakat as we prepare for the opening of Shaukat Khanum Karachi in December 2026.

How Zakat Sponsorship Works: Who We Sponsor

We sponsor people in need who qualify for Zakat under Islamic rules. They include children, adults, and older individuals who travel from across Pakistan to reach Shaukat Khanum.

Around 75% of those supported there meet the criteria for Zakat. Your sponsorship helps them experience community and kindness from the moment they arrive.

A single Shariah Compliance Framework guides how each case is reviewed in Pakistan, so you can give with confidence.

  • Sponsorship begins once a person’s eligibility is verified.
  • You can sponsor someone in need in full or in part.
  • Every penny you give is kept in a separate Zakat fund.
  • Sponsorship given in Ramadan is allocated within the same lunar year.

How One-to-One Sponsorship Works

If you wish to give more, you can choose one-to-one sponsorship, which begins at £4,000.

We share profiles of those who qualify for Zakat at Shaukat Khanum, along with the estimated amount of sponsorship required. You decide how much to contribute and whether you want to give once or over several months.

You also decide how involved you want to be. You can receive occasional updates and, where available:

  • Mark key milestones in their journey.
  • Visit them at Shaukat Khanum (subject to available dates).
  • Send them messages of encouragement.

We support you through the entire process.
