Millions of people have a daily income of less than $1. People who can only eat and have shelter with their earnings have to work
again to survive the next day. Thus, those in need, who work every day to survive, constantly need humanitarian aid in this endless
cycle. The easiest way to save these people living in many parts of the world, especially in Africa, is to help them with sustainable
business support.
What is the Situation Around the World?
- Income inequality in the world is increasing rapidly. The wealth of the 42 richest people is equivalent to half of the world’s population. The income of the 10 richest countries is exactly 77 times the income of the poorest 10 countries.
WHAT DO WE DO?
Zumra provides needy individuals with business startup support so that they can become self-sufficient providers for themselves and their families. In Somalia, Bangladesh and Yemen we develop business models for the poor people. Sewing machines and rickshaws are one of the few ways we have helped to empower the poor to become independent business ownersVideos
”Sa’d ibn Ubadah asked Messenger of Allah, Umm Sa’d (mother of Sa’d) has died; what form of sadaqah (charity) is best? He replied: Water (is best). He dug a well and said: It is for Umm Sa’d” [Sunan Abi Dawud].
