Your Zakat Al-Fitr Spreads Joy
Bring the joy of Eid Al-Fitr to families around the world by paying Zakat Al-Fitr with Basmah! Zakat Al-Fitr is $12 per family Member and fitrana is due on every member of a household, including any children or elderly persons, before Eid prayer.
Give Fidyah and Kaffarah
Fidyah and Kaffarah provide vital support, especially for Rohingya Muslims. Kaffarah helps when fasts can’t be made up, while Fidyah is for missed fasts due to health reasons. Embracing these practices not only fulfills religious duties but also aids in providing nutritious meals to those in need.
2023 Ramadan Impact
In Ramadan 2023, your generosity made a profound impact, providing over 55,000 people with essential food packs and Iftar meals.

These meticulously crafted food packs cater to the cultural needs of each country, containing dates, legumes, vegetables, rice, flour, oil, salt, and other locally cherished ingredients. Let’s continue to brighten lives in Ramadan 2024!

Clean Water
Water is essential, water is life. Many people still do not have access to clean water in remote and poor communities in Bangladesh. The women, children and the elderly suffer the most from the water crisis. Giving water is one of the best forms of service to the needy that one can provide. This is Sadaqah Jariya, providing a lifeline that keeps on giving water to needy communities.

Orphans & Helpless Children
Your small support can truly make a difference in ensuring a bright future for orphans and the helpless. There are many orphans and helpless children, especially in the Rohingya refugee camp, where the orphans are heartbreaking casualties. BASMAH has come forward and established orphan center schools in Rangpur, Narayanganj, and Mymensingh.
