Your Zakat Can Change Lives. Across Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Myanmar, millions of Muslims face hardship and uncertainty every day. From the displaced Rohingya refugees to struggling families in Indonesia, your Zakat can bring hope, sustenance, and opportunity to those who need it most.

Human Initiative, established in Indonesia in 1999, has built a foundation rooted in compassion and collaboration, guided by a Theory of Change (TOC) that prioritizes positive, sustainable impact. Our work focuses on four main pillars: Initiative for Empowerment, Initiative for Children, Initiative for Disaster Risk Management, and Initiative for Infrastructure. With your zakat, we’re able to support the 8 asnaf (categories of zakat recipients) as prescribed in Islam, ensuring that no one is left behind. These categories include:

1. The Poor (Al-Fuqara) – Those who lack even the most basic necessities of life.
2. The Needy (Al-Masakin) – People whose lives are burdened by poverty and hardship but may not openly ask for help.
3. Zakat Recipients (Amil Zakat) – Those who work in distributing zakat and require support themselves.
4. Frees Slaves (Riqab) – Assisting those in slavery or captivity, either physically or economically, giving them freedom.
5. Debtors (Al-Gharimin) – People weighed down by insurmountable debt and unable to pay their dues.
6. For the Cause of Allah (Fi Sabilillah) – Supporting those engaged in spreading good, whether in education, community development, or humanitarian efforts.
7. Wayfarers (Ibn As-Sabil) – Helping travelers or migrants who are stranded or in financial need.
8. Orphans and Children in Need (Yatama) – Providing children with care, protection, and opportunities for a brighter future.

Your zakat, when channeled through Human Initiative, will directly benefit those in need, offering essential resources and support to help them rebuild their lives.

Through your Zakat, we support:

• Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh and Myanmar with essential aid and livelihood opportunities.
• Vulnerable communities across Indonesia, from Aceh to Maluku, focusing on orphans, the poor, and the underserved.

By contributing to these vital programs, you can make a profound difference in the lives of Muslims across three countries. Your donation will provide:

1. Food Packs ($55): A food pack can feed a family for an entire month, ensuring that no one goes to bed hungry. These packs include rice, oil, lentils, and other staple foods that provide basic nutrition.
2. Hot Meals ($15): A hot, freshly cooked meal for a person in need, offering not just sustenance, but a sense of hope and dignity. Your donation will feed a vulnerable individual or family during times of crisis.
3. Cash Allowance ($200): Provide a family with a cash allowance to cover essential expenses—such as healthcare, education, or housing—allowing them to meet their immediate needs and plan for the future.
4. Business Carts ($800): Empower an individual with a business cart to start their own small business. This entrepreneurial support helps families lift themselves out of poverty, giving them a sustainable income and independence.
5. Scholarship Fund ($75): A scholarship fund that can provide educational opportunities for children or young adults, helping them break the cycle of poverty and invest in their future.

These contributions are more than just donations—they are opportunities for lasting transformation, giving recipients the tools to create a better life for themselves and their families.
