Zakat funds are allocated exclusively to eligible projects (direct relief: glasses, kits, family support). Classroom equipment is funded through Sadaqah.

How your donations are used

Three simple rules, applied since the very first donation.

01

One ledger, two associations

Every movement of money — bank transfer, PayPal, cash — is recorded in the common ledger, linked to its project and its receipt.

02

Proof, not vague reports

Photos, videos and beneficiaries' messages come back from the field. For major donations, the proof is linked by name to the donor.

03

Logistics fund themselves

Transport of collections is covered by a simple principle — €1 per collected coat — so your donations go to beneficiaries, not to trucks.

Donate by bank transfer

Give via Blackbirds

Please mention in the payment reference: your name + the chosen project (e.g. "Glasses") or "General Zakat".

Frequently asked questions

What is the link between Maddad Al Wissal and Blackbirds?

Two sister structures, one mission. Maddad Al Wissal (Switzerland) is the parent organisation: governance, traceability, donor receipts. Blackbirds (France, loi 1901) runs local collections and co-organises missions. Joint campaigns carry both logos, and every movement of money is recorded in a common ledger.

What is Zakat al-Mal?

A mandatory alms of 2.5% of savings held for one lunar year (hawl), if they exceed the Nisab (the value of 85 g of gold).

Which projects are Zakat-eligible?

Direct relief projects: solidarity glasses, education kits, support for families and orphans. Classroom equipment (infrastructure) is funded through Sadaqah.

How is my donation documented?

Every distribution produces photos, videos or messages from beneficiaries, sent by our field liaisons. For major donations, the proof is linked by name to the donor.
