DO MORE FOR THE LESS FORTUNATE THIS RAMADAAN

- SANZAF spokespers­on

AS one of the longest serving Zakah organisati­ons in the country with over 35 offices around South Africa, our commitment to serving humanity is stronger than ever.

None more so as we continue to recover and rebuild from the devastatin­g effects of Covid-19. SANZAF distributi­on teams across the country have been working tirelessly delivering much needed essentials, food hampers and Covid-19 relief to those less fortunate, with more than R10 million worth of aid having been collected and distribute­d since the beginning of the pandemic.

SANZAF Western Cape operations has been on the ground since the initial lockdown in early 2020 distributi­ng food and essential hampers to needy communitie­s in and around the province, while continuing weekly food programmes to meet the increased need among those less fortunate.

The organisati­on calls out to the public to “do more” this Ramadaan and act to make an impact by joining us in making a difference in the lives of the needy, elderly and sick during these uncertain times.

Your support will see us reach close to a million people in need this Ramadaan while a portion of the Zakah (alms) collected will be utilised in welfare, food programmes and education projects throughout the year in the Western Cape.

For as we reflect this Holy Month, fortunate and thankful for the closeness of our families, for our health and the warmth of our shelter and for the guarantee of a meal, we have to turn in all humility to those less fortunate than us.

Apart from being a month of intense spirituali­ty, Ramadaan also has to be a month of intense humanity, so let’s do more this Ramadaan.

May The Almighty bless us all and reward our efforts during the Holy Month.
