As the blessed month of Ramadan draws to a close, Muslims worldwide prepare to celebrate Eid — a time of joy, unity, and gratitude. Yet, before the crescent moon marks the festival’s arrival, there remains a vital act of worship: Fitrana.
Fitrana, or Zakat al-Fitr, is a small but powerful form of charity that purifies our fasts and spreads happiness among the less fortunate. It ensures that every Muslim, regardless of wealth or circumstance, can join in the blessings of Eid.
At Kashmir Welfare Foundation, we invite you to fulfil this sacred obligation with purpose and compassion — by giving your fitrana to those who need it most in Kashmir, a region still bearing the scars of poverty, conflict, and displacement.
Fitrana is £5 per person. You can donate below. If you can’t see the amount you want to donate, put any amount in the white box after GBP £.
What Is Fitrana and Why It Matters
Fitrana is not merely a donation; it is an act of faith that embodies the spirit of equality. It is given by every Muslim who possesses enough to meet their basic needs and is intended to be distributed before Eid prayers so that those in need can celebrate with dignity.
Your fitrana donation, no matter how small, ensures that a struggling family can share in the joy of Eid — that children have food on their plates, mothers can buy clothing for their little ones, and no one is left behind.
“When you give fitrana, you are not only feeding a family. You are reminding them that the Ummah remembers them.”
— Abdul Basit, Chair of Kashmir Welfare Foundation
Why Timing Matters
Fitrana is time-sensitive. It must reach the poor before the Eid prayer, not after. Many Muslims delay, unaware that by then, the opportunity to fulfil its purpose has passed.
By acting early, you enable the Kashmir Welfare Foundation to deliver your fitrana in time — reaching widows, orphans, and vulnerable families before Eid morning.
In 2025, our team distributed thousands of Eid food parcels and clothing packs across Azad Kashmir, ensuring no child went hungry. This Ramadan, we aim even higher, with your help.
How Your Fitrana Changes Lives
For many families in Kashmir, these amounts mean more than just a meal — they mean inclusion, hope, and restored dignity.
Meet Fatima, a widow from Bagh. Last year, she received fitrana through our Meals of Mercy Campaign.
“For the first time in years, I was able to cook a proper Eid meal for my children,” Fatima said. “It reminded me that Allah never forgets us, and neither do our brothers and sisters in the UK.”
Through your fitrana, families like Fatima’s can smile again.

Beyond Fitrana: Sustaining Hope Year-Round
While fitrana ensures immediate relief, long-term change requires ongoing support.
Your Regular Giving helps sustain our projects throughout the year — from education to clean water, from healthcare to livelihood training. Each standing order keeps hope alive beyond Ramadan.
Together, we can build a future where families no longer depend on seasonal aid but stand strong through empowerment and opportunity.
“True giving isn’t seasonal; it’s continuous. Regular giving means we can plan ahead, respond faster, and build lasting solutions.”
— Abdul Basit
