Give Zakat Easily to Transparent Hands

Giving Zakat is a religious obligation for practicing Muslims. Every year, Muslims donate a part of their wealth to underprivileged and deserving families. It helps in balancing the wealth distribution within the community and helps poor families with making ends meet. Zakat can be given to the deserving families directly or through charitable organizations.

A number of charitable organizations are working in Pakistan to help underprivileged families. Some raise funds to help families with financial issues, while others work to make health care accessible to those who can’t afford it. Transparent Hands is one such organization.   

Why Transparent Hands?

Established in 2014, Transparent Hands helps deserving patients in need of quality health care. Over 2,000 patients belonging to underprivileged communities have received surgical or medical treatments so far from Transparent Hands. The surgeries and medical procedures we provide include cardiac surgeries, c-sections, cochlear implant surgeries, orthopedic surgeries, chemotherapy, pediatric surgeries, and prosthesis, to name just a few. We also routinely organize free medical camps in remote areas of Pakistan.

How Transparent Hands Make It Easier?

Giving Zakat to Transparent Hands is super convenient. Here is why:

Online Zakat calculator

You can use the online Zakat calculator on our website to calculate how much Zakat you need to give this year. All you need to do is to enter information such as the value of all the gold and silver you own, your total bank balance and cash, the amount of money you owe, etc. The calculator will immediately tell you the amount of Zakat you are obligated to donate.

Easily find patients who are eligible for Zakat

It can be challenging to identify people who are eligible for Zakat. To make this process easy for you, Transparent Hands adds the label of “Zakat Eligible” to patients’ stories. What’s more, you can select patients based on the types of surgeries. For example, you can give Zakat to a cardiac surgery patient or someone who needs artificial limbs. You can also see the number of funds required, raised, and remaining for each patient. To make an informed decision, read stories of the patients you are considering. It will give you a clear understanding of their medical problems as well as family and financial conditions. For example, you could give Zakat to the sole earner in a family who needs an artificial leg and help not just that individual but the entire family or restore a child’s hearing to give them a better future. Some patients need surgical or medical treatments more urgently than others. They might be awaiting life-saving surgery. Details of these patients are also available on the website.
