The PCRF is a nonpolitical, nonreligious humanitarian organization helping children get the care they need, regardless of their nationality or faith. However, we do know that for some donors, being able to fulfill their Zakat responsibilities, as one of the pillars of Islam, is important, and we can help you meet that requirement. Two important categories of Zakat are helping the poor and needy, as well as orphans. While all of our programs help the poor and needy, there are two specific ones - our humanitarian projects and Orphan Sponsorship Program - which meet the requiremets of being Zakat. This is documented in a fatwa from the Palestinian Dar Al Ifta. Your donation as Zakat is earmarked 100% to meet that restriction and to be used specifically for these purposes.
