About this appeal

Each fruit tree in Africa costs £6, so please donate generously.

This covers the cost of planting and the ongoing maintenance of fruit trees. With climate change and global warming there are added environmental benefits for planting trees.

People not only benefit from fresh air, shade and controlling soil erosion but also the fruit yields from the trees. This provided ongoing nourishment and the opportunity for farmers to sell any surplus fruits to nearby villages and communities.

This project has a greater positive impact on the environment as these trees can be planted in maize fields and the surrounding of households.

We do not believe in simply distributing aid to needy communities. Instead, we invest in the communities we serve and their future. We want to give the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people a chance to change their lives for the better.

What is Sadaqah Jariyah?

Sadaqah Jariyah, often referred to as "continuous charity," is an act of giving that provides ongoing benefits to others and rewards to the donor. Unlike regular Sadaqah, which is a one-time act of charity, Sadaqah Jariyah continues to benefit others and generates spiritual rewards for the giver for as long as the charity continues to be of service. Examples of Sadaqah Jariyah include building a school, digging a well, planting a tree, or providing educational materials that people will use for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

Confused about donating? Take a look at our frequently asked questions below.

What is Sadaqah Jariyah?

Sadaqah Jariyah refers to a form of continuous charity in Islam. Unlike regular Sadaqah, which is a one-time act of giving, Sadaqah Jariyah continues to benefit others long after the donation is made, providing ongoing rewards to the giver even after their death.

How does Sadaqah Jariyah differ from regular Sadaqah?

Regular Sadaqah is a voluntary act of charity that benefits the recipient immediately. In contrast, Sadaqah Jariyah is a long-lasting charity that provides continuous benefits over time, such as building a school, digging a well, or planting trees.

What are examples of Sadaqah Jariyah?

Examples of Sadaqah Jariyah include building mosques, schools, hospitals, providing clean water by digging wells, planting trees, and creating educational resources. These acts continue to benefit people for years, ensuring ongoing rewards for the donor.

Why is Sadaqah Jariyah important in Islam?

Sadaqah Jariyah is highly valued in Islam because it offers perpetual rewards. As long as the charitable act continues to benefit others, the giver earns blessings, even after they have passed away, which can be particularly significant for their afterlife.

Who can benefit from Sadaqah Jariyah?

Sadaqah Jariyah benefits communities at large. For instance, a school built as Sadaqah Jariyah educates generations of students, a well provides water to countless people, and a mosque serves as a place of worship for many.

Can I give Sadaqah Jariyah on behalf of someone else?

Yes, Sadaqah Jariyah can be given on behalf of others, such as deceased relatives or friends. This act can help earn continuous rewards for the deceased and contribute to their good deeds in the afterlife.

Is there a specific time to give Sadaqah Jariyah?

Sadaqah Jariyah can be given at any time. There is no specific time requirement, and it is encouraged to give whenever you have the means to do so, ensuring ongoing benefits for the community and continuous rewards for the donor.

What are the long-term benefits of Sadaqah Jariyah?
