With your proxy authorisation, animals are selected and slaughtered under strict veterinary supervision in hygienic facilities, following Islamic principles. The donor’s name is recited aloud during the sacrifice on video. The personal video report is delivered directly to you, and the fresh meat supplies the children at our Novopokrovka Care Home and vulnerable families in nearby villages.

Vow (nazr): Offered upon the fulfilment of a pledge; the meat is given entirely to those in need. Aqiqah: Offered in gratitude for the birth of a newborn. Thanksgiving (shukr): Voluntary sacrifice expressing gratitude for a blessing or overcome hardship. Voluntary (nafl): Offered any day of the year purely as an act of charity. You can delegate any of these through our Donate page.

A healing sacrifice is an offering made with the sincere intention and prayer for recovery, health, and relief from illness. The meat is distributed to orphan households and families in need as an act of charity. In the Healing Sacrifice with Sadaqah (sadaqah = voluntary charity), an additional donation covers medicines and treatment costs for families in need.

Obligatory Eid al-Adha Qurbans are performed during the days of Eid al-Adha; please contact us ahead of the holiday to arrange them. Vow, aqiqah, healing, thanksgiving, and nafl sacrifices are carried out year-round on a regular schedule.

Yes. The foundation distributes zakat funds strictly according to established guidelines, reaching widowed mothers, orphans, elderly people without caregivers, and underprivileged students. Zakat funds are ring-fenced and never mixed with general administrative expenses. When donating your Zakat, please write “Zakat” in the transfer reference so that we can allocate it accordingly.

The Bereke Food Box (bereke means “abundance” in Kyrgyz) is a comprehensive staple food parcel containing flour, oil, sugar, rice, pasta and legumes. Each box covers a family’s basic needs for about a month and is delivered door-to-door year-round, with extra rounds during Ramadan and the winter months, to families with no reliable income.

We drill deep artesian wells in remote Kyrgyz villages where municipal tap water does not reach. Following geological surveys, we drill down to uncontaminated water tables, install casing pipes, submersible pumps, and filtration units. Testing in laboratories accredited by the Ministry of Health verifies the water’s safety. Donors receive technical documentation, opening photos, and a video report.

Yes. For individual well sponsorships, an inscribed marble plaque bearing your chosen name or dedication is affixed to the well structure. Video footage capturing the community’s celebration as the clean water first flows is sent to you.

“I Want to Study Too!” (Men dagy okuunu kaalaym!) is our annual back-to-school fair providing orphans and needy children with backpacks, full stationery kits, and school uniforms. Rather than passive distributions, we organise festive open fairs where children freely choose their own clothing sizes and colours. Student Sponsorship enables donors to cover the monthly, six-month or annual living, dining, healthcare, and tutoring costs of a child residing at our Novopokrovka Care Home.
