PROJECT SHABOLOMBI

Those who spend in Charity will be Richly Rewarded – Al Quran 57:10

The project “Shabolombi- Self-reliant” focused on the empowerment of men and women and their families whose family income is below $7,000 per month. For the project, IGF will collect Zakat’s money from interested individuals and through sponsorships as well. In Bangladesh, using Zakat’s money, people tend to purchase clothing and distribute those to the poor. This results in momentary happiness in the destitute family, but doesn’t bring much improvement in their lifestyles. To make appropriate use of Zakat money, we initiated to creation of a Sustainable Livelihood project titled ‘SHABOLOMBI (Self-dependent)’. All the beneficiaries will be under the organization’s supervision for around 5 years. This approach assures the proper use of zakat money and resources in a sustainable way to make an impact on our beneficiaries and relieve them of the evil clutches of poverty. It’s a creative initiative that will help to positively contribute to achieving SDG 01.

Project objectives
