Emergency relief, tree planting and more
Oath expiation (kaffarah) becomes due when a deliberate oath has been broken, and consists of feeding or clothing ten people in need. Fidyah is the substitute payment for fasting days that cannot be made up for lasting health reasons.
A tree donation works over the long term: trees hold the soil, give shade and in many regions bear fruit as an additional source of food for the local population.
Clothing donations provide families and orphans with the essentials, particularly before the festival days. A Kirve donation covers the cost of a circumcision celebration for families who cannot meet it themselves.
It is the atonement for a broken oath, fulfilled by feeding or clothing ten people in need. You can give either directly here.
Depending on the project, trees are planted in Africa or in Türkiye. You choose when selecting the donation option.
Oath expiation consists of feeding or clothing ten people in need. Anyone unable to do so fasts for three days instead.
Fidyah is paid for fasting days that can no longer be made up – for instance in cases of chronic illness or old age. It corresponds to feeding one person in need for each missed day of fasting.
Emergency relief means fast, basic support for people affected by extraordinary events such as an earthquake, flood or fire. It covers food parcels, water, hot meals, clothing, blankets and shelter materials.
Acting quickly in an emergency takes preparation. Food parcels, hygiene items and blankets have to be bought in advance so they reach people without delay when disaster strikes. Training the teams and keeping the logistics in place also needs steady support.
The Kirve donation is a health project enabling children in Africa to be circumcised safely, in hygienic and professional conditions. 'Kirve' is the name given in Anatolian tradition to the person who takes on the cost of a circumcision.
Mongolia winter aid provides coal to families in need living through severe winters. Heating is a matter of survival in these regions. Preparations are completed before winter begins and distributions go ahead despite difficult weather.
