Give Zakat Now, Change Lives Forever

At NZF Canada, we are seeing a record number of applications from people suffering from homelessness, hunger and piling debt. Thousands are on the verge of eviction, with barely any food to feed their families. Despite government support, many still cannot make ends meet. We cannot turn away vulnerable Muslims who have no other options.
