Both are voluntary charity. Sadqa (Sadaqah) is the Islamic term for any charity given for the sake of Allah; Khairat is the everyday Urdu word for giving to people in need. Sadqa aur Khairat dono nafli sadqat hain. صدقہ اور خیرات دونوں نفلی عطیات ہیں۔

Ongoing charity whose benefit continues — for example a child's education, a classroom or clean water. Sadqa-e-Jariya woh sadqa hai jis ka faida jaari rehta hai, jaise kisi bachche ki taleem. صدقہ جاریہ۔

Give where you can see the impact. YES Pakistan sends a receipt for every donation and publishes audited accounts. Khairat wahan dein jahan hisaab saaf ho. خیرات وہاں دیں جہاں حساب شفاف ہو۔

Fitrana should be paid before the Eid-ul-Fitr prayer; many people pay during the last days of Ramadan so it reaches families in time. Fitrana Eid ki namaz se pehle ada karein. فطرانہ عید کی نماز سے پہلے ادا کریں۔

The per-person rate is announced each Ramadan and depends on the staple (wheat, dates, etc.). Multiply the rate by the number of people in your household. Fitrana fi kas rate × ghar ke afraad. فطرانہ فی کس شرح × گھر کے افراد۔

Fitrana goes to deserving families so they can celebrate Eid too. We distribute it before Eid through our field teams. Fitrana mustahiq gharon tak Eid se pehle pohanchaya jaata hai.

Our accounts are audited annually by an independent chartered accountancy firm. You can download audited financial statements on the Impact & Reports page.
