The Muslim Women’s Zakat Fund
Empowering lives, restoring dignity, and rebuilding hope.
Building on the success of its launch last year, the Muslim Women’s Zakat Fund aims to make an even greater impact in 2025.
With your support, we can reach more Muslim women in need, helping them overcome hardship and achieve long-term stability.
The Muslim Women’s Zakat Fund is a vital initiative promoting economic justice for Muslim women in the UK.
The fund was established to ensure we collectively care for one of society’s most marginalised groups: Muslim women. Many of these women are mothers or future mothers, the backbone of our community and the nurturers of the next generation. When we support Muslim women, we are investing in the future of the Muslim community in the UK.
Zakat is more than just a donation – it’s community solidarity in action.
“Tonight, I will put my head on the pillow without stressing over finances and money. I’ll be able to pay the £300 bill for gas this month. Thank you to everyone at NZF, I don’t feel so alone anymore.”

Through this fund, we support women facing challenges in housing, employment, healthcare, and education. A significant number of our applications come from single mothers in hardship. We assist them in meeting their children’s basic nutritional needs and other essential expenses. By easing these burdens, we empower single mothers to raise healthy, well-supported children who can thrive and contribute positively to society.
Zakat has the transformative power to change the lives of Muslim women, uplift their families, and strengthen entire communities. Together, we can create a lasting impact.
Support the Collective Care of Muslim Women and Double Your Impact
Let’s unite to support Muslim women in need across the UK.
This year, every donation to the Muslim Women’s Fund will be matched pound for pound, doubling your impact and helping us reach even more women in need.
Your Zakat is more than a donation—it’s a lifeline. It provides food for families, keeps homes warm, and ensures children have a safe place to call home.
Together, we can build stronger families through the power of Zakat.
The need to support Muslim women in the UK is urgent.
Muslim women face unique socio-economic challenges, which are compounded by Islamophobia. This often leaves them struggling to navigate daily life with dignity and security. Targeted assistance is essential to help them overcome these barriers so that they can take steps to build a better future for themselves.
Giving your Zakat locally through NZF can make a lasting impact by transforming the lives of women in need.

The need for targeted support is not just real; it’s critical.
Critical Support for Women and Children
In the past two years alone, we’ve distributed over £1.5 million to help single mothers in financial hardship. From food and rent to heating bills, NZF helped women in financial distress lift themselves and their children above their daily struggles.
Millions Dedicated to Uplifting Women in Hardship
Most funds were allocated to cover basic living expenses, providing immediate relief for women in need. This crucial support empowers them to regain stability, build resilience, and contribute to a stronger, more vibrant community.
Safety and Security for Vulnerable Women
We’ve helped women and their families at risk of homelessness by paying rent arrears. We’ve also helped those seeking a safe haven from domestic violence or abuse, ensuring their safety and dignity.
“I can’t express how grateful I am for the support I’ve received. I make constant duas for everyone involved in collecting and distributing Zakat. I’ve been lifted by Zakat, and I’m deeply grateful.”
Nazanin, Muslim Women’s Zakat Fund recipient
“For a while, I had no idea how to cope, “I didn’t have anywhere to live. All I wanted was a safe place to stay. I don’t know what I would’ve done without your Zakat. Thank you.”
