This Ramadan, fulfill your Zakat while bringing lasting change where it’s most needed.
Help us harness the power of education to build a more equitable, prosperous world.
251 million school-aged children are out of school. 48% of them are girls.
70% of children cannot read simple text by age 10.
By 2030, 825 million young people – over half the world’s youth – will not have the basic skills necessary to get a job.
At Zakat for Education, we know that today’s global education crisis is tomorrow’s global economic and humanitarian crisis. Join us in taking action now.
Our Mission
Our mission is to increase access to education and improve the quality of education for children in developing countries by providing funding and support to immediate, targeted, and sustainable solutions.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create an equitable world by lifting marginalized communities out of poverty through better education.
We believe in the transformative power of education. By investing in education, we are investing in entire communities. When students are empowered with critical knowledge, exposure, and skills, their income potential and economic prospects grow. As they become contributing members of society, their families gain economic mobility and empowerment, and a multiplier effect on their local economies helps establish a virtuous cycle of socioeconomic growth for the overall community.
We support projects that target the fundamental barriers to education common in low-income countries.
- Severe shortages of trained and qualified teachers, low levels of teaching capacity
- Large class sizes, overcrowded classrooms
- Poor infrastructure and inadequate school facilities (ex. too few classrooms; lack of basic utilities like electricity, clean water, toilets)
- Limited access to educational equipment and resources (ex. textbooks, teaching materials, learning technologies)
- Distance, physical or geographic inaccessibility, limited access or affordability of transportation for students
We prioritize high-impact, sustainable solutions.
- Digital learning infrastructure
- Teacher training
- Access to educational tools, resources, and equipment
- Recruitment and strategic placement of teachers
