Appeal

Sa’d ibn Ubadah reported: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, my mother has died. Shall I give charity on her behalf?” The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Yes.” I said, “Which charity is best?” The Prophet said, “A drink of water.”

(Sunan al-Nasa’i)

Reclaim Gift Aid

Gift Aid It!Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows Akram Aid to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Akram Aid we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Akram Aid to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Akram Aid will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Akram Aid receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.

Water &

Poverty

Research shows that water and poverty are directly linked. If you look around the world, you will see that all successful nations have one thing in common and that is, their public have access to clean drinking water from within their homes.

Poor access to water and insufficient sanitation affect the health of the poor, their food security, and their prospects for making a living. Asian subcontinent and Africa are home to nearly half a billion world’s poorest people – one in three people does not have safe drinking water and one in two lacks adequate sanitation.

With the help of Akram Aid water appeal, we can empower communities and help them come out of the poverty cycle. Donate for water, donate to water appeal.

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “The best charity is giving water to drink.”

(Ahmad)
