Together, we can change lives.

A hot meal. Clean water from a pump near home. A child back in school. We help families in Pakistan, Palestine and beyond with the things that make tomorrow possible.

Alif is where every word begins.

Alif is the first letter of the Arabic alphabet. We picked the name because that is how we think about giving. Big changes start small: one food pack, one water pump, one school fee paid on time.

We work with families who are going through the hardest stretch of their lives. Our job is to get help to them quickly, treat them with respect, and tell you honestly what your money did.

  • You choose where it goes. Every gift is tied to the campaign you pick.
  • Zakat stays Zakat. It's kept apart and only used where it has been confirmed as eligible.
  • We don't round up. We only publish numbers we can back up.

You trust us with your money. Here's how we look after it.

Your gift goes to the campaign you choose. Zakat and Ushr sit in their own separate funds and are only spent on programmes that qualify. If a campaign is fully funded or can't go ahead, we move general gifts to the closest similar work in the same country, and we say so when we report.

Payments go through Stripe. Your gift is only marked as received once Stripe confirms it, and refunds are handled the same way.
