Zakat Foundation™ Iran is a non-profit organization committed to supporting underprivileged communities in Iran through charitable initiatives. In its Annual Report 2018, the foundation highlights its efforts in providing assistance to those in need and making a difference in the lives of the people it serves. The report provides a detailed account of the foundation’s achievements in the year 2018, showcasing the impact of its programs and services.
The report begins by outlining the foundation’s mission and values, which are centered around helping the less fortunate and improving their quality of life. The foundation strives to empower individuals and communities to overcome poverty and hardship, and it does so through a range of programs that address the most pressing needs of the community.
One of the major highlights of the report is the foundation’s relief efforts in response to natural disasters that struck the country in 2018. In August of that year, a 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck the city of Kermanshah, leaving hundreds dead and thousands homeless. Zakat Foundation™ Iran responded immediately by launching a relief campaign to provide emergency aid and shelter to those affected. The foundation distributed thousands of food packages, blankets, and tents, and set up mobile clinics to provide medical care to those in need.
The foundation’s relief efforts didn’t stop there. In the same year, heavy rainfall and flooding caused widespread damage across the country, leaving many families without homes, food, or clean water. Zakat Foundation™ Iran again mobilized its resources to provide relief to those affected, distributing thousands of food packages, blankets, and hygiene kits. The foundation also set up emergency shelters and water treatment facilities to help alleviate the suffering of the affected communities.
Aside from its emergency relief efforts, the foundation also runs several programs aimed at addressing long-term poverty and hardship. These programs focus on providing education, healthcare, and income-generating opportunities to underprivileged individuals and communities.
The foundation’s education program is designed to provide children from disadvantaged backgrounds with access to quality education. In 2018, the program supported more than 10,000 students across the country, providing them with school supplies, textbooks, and other learning materials. The program also offers scholarships to talented students who would otherwise not have the means to continue their education.
Zakat Foundation™ Iran’s healthcare program provides access to medical care to those who cannot afford it. The program includes mobile clinics that visit remote and underserved areas, as well as partnerships with local hospitals and clinics to provide free or subsidized medical care to low-income individuals and families.
The foundation’s income-generating program focuses on providing vocational training and small business loans to individuals who lack access to formal employment. In 2018, the program helped over 2,000 people start their own businesses, providing them with the skills and resources they need to become self-sufficient.
The Annual Report 2018 provides a comprehensive overview of the foundation’s achievements and impact over the year. The report showcases the foundation’s commitment to making a difference in the lives of those it serves, and its tireless efforts to alleviate poverty and hardship in Iran.
