More information about ‘Ramadan and Zakat campaign’
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, launched the ‘Ramadan and Zakat campaign’ in Thailand in 2018 in partnership with the Sheikhul Islam of Thailand to raise Zakat and Sadaqah funds during Ramadan. These donations will be used as cash grants benefitting directly individuals deemed most in need, victims of violence, refugees, and vulnerable groups. The cash assistance will allow forcibly displaced people to meet basic needs and access essential services in the most challenging conditions, facing increasing costs, deepening poverty, food insecurity, natural disasters, and funding and humanitarian lifesaving aid shortfalls.
