How we decide
We use a simple test from the maqasid: life, mind, dignity, family, livelihood.
If a spend does not reduce harm without routing safety through cages or cameras, we cut it.
Giving types
All non-zakat support here is sadaqah jariyah for our three strands: casework, education, community work.
Zakat is ring-fenced on Open Collective and paid to eligible people only: food, clothing, essential travel, urgent debts. We pay people directly, or pay a named creditor on their behalf. Records are light: category, date, amount.
