ZAKATUL FITR DISTRIBUTION 2010

Assalamu Aleikum Wa Rahmatulahi Ta'Allah Wa Barakatuh brothers and sisters,
This was a year of blessings to our Muslim community in Western Kenya.Unlike other years when Muslim Youth members contributed fitr to enable the poor have a decent meal on their table, The Zakat Foundation of America decided to add on their helping hand.
Alhamudulillahi, with our membership contribution and the Zakat Foundation of America, we managed to reach put to 183 families in Western Kenya.The distribution process was much simillar to the method employed during Ramadan 2010.
We distributed in the slum areas and remote areas of Bungoma and part of Kakamega Counties.
We send appreciation from all the beneficiaries to The Zakat Foundation of America for their generous support.May Allah (SWT) protect them and accept the Zakat of those who donated through them.
Beneficiaries being verified in the beneficiary register to ensure that their names and numbers are in order.
