Poverty Relief Fund

Millions throughout the world live in extreme poverty. Poverty impacts children the most. Food and financial insecurity increase parents’ stress levels, in turn affecting relationships and family dynamics. Dabbagh Welfare Trust’s poverty relief fund has been set up to help provide food and financial support to thousands of poor and needy families across the world.

Be it war-torn Yemen, Gaza or Yemen or millions living below the poverty line in Pakistan, Bangladesh and many parts of Africa, Dabbagh Welfare Trust’s aim is to bring families out of poverty by providing food aid, financial grants through Zakat and by helping set up start-up businesses like sewing, corner shops, rickshaw or goat farming. Increases in family income can boost children’s educational achievements as well as improve their emotional and physical wellbeing.

Dabbagh Welfare Trust’s poverty relief fund’s aim is to help families come out of poverty. Donate generously towards our poverty relief fund and help change the lives of the poor & needy around the world.

Tell me more »

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Dabbagh Welfare Trust to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Dabbagh Welfare Trust will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Dabbagh Welfare Trust receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.

The Purpose of Poverty Relief Fund

1. Combating Food Poverty

Food scarcity is a critical issue in areas like war-torn Yemen, Gaza, Afghanistan, Syria and poverty-stricken regions of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Africa. Our food aid programmes aim to ensure that families receive nutritious meals, thus safeguarding them from the perils of hunger and malnutrition.

2. Tackling Water Poverty

Water is life. Access to clean water is a fundamental human need, yet many communities suffer from a lack of safe water sources. This water poverty leads to health crises and hinders daily living. Through the Poverty Relief Fund, we can focus on providing reliable water access through wells, filtration systems, and sanitary facilities, particularly in areas where people do not have the resources to do these themselves. We have water projects in Africa, Pakistan, Yemen, Gaza, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.

3. Financial Empowerment through Zakat

With your Zakat, we offer financial grants to families in need, aiding them in overcoming poverty. This includes setting up sustainable livelihoods through small businesses such as hand carts, sewing centres, corner shops, rickshaw operations, or goat farming.

4. Impact on Education and Well-being

Educate a Child, Sponsor an Orphan or Sponsor a Hafiz, many of these programmes are being run with the funds raised through the Poverty Relief Fund. Through these programmes, we not only boost children’s educational achievements but also improve their emotional and physical well-being.

Our Poverty Relief Fund extends beyond immediate aid, aiming to uplift families from poverty. By focusing on various aspects like water and food poverty, we strive to create long-term, sustainable change. Each donation to our Poverty Relief Fund can transform lives. Join us in this vital mission to alleviate the hardships of the poor and needy around the world.
