Feeding Scheme
And give food - despite their own desire for it, to the poor, the orphan and the captive saying to themselves, “We feed you only for the sake of Allah (SWT), seeking neither reward, nor thanks from you (Qur'an, Surah 76, Verse 8-9)
Alhumdulillah, SANZAF’s feeding scheme caters for both Muslims and Non-Muslims, from amongst the impoverished and needy communities. For the success of this Feeding Scheme, Non-Zakah funds are required on an ongoing basis. A variety of fresh meals are prepared at the SANZAF Durban office and served on a daily basis. SANZAF feeds approximately 3 600 people on a monthly basis at various venues such as Albert Park, Milner Street, Lacey Road, Alpine Road, Old Fort Road and Williams Road.
Project Rahma
SANZAF has consistently implemented the traditions of the Beloved Prophet Muhammed (SAW) in preserving and perpetuating the esteem of our senior citizens by retaining and reviving their rightful place in society. The utmost respect and care must be accorded to the elderly in health care, social welfare, psychological treatment, education and other aspects pertaining to their well-being.
SANZAF Durban assists the elderly on our caseload with medication, special dietary food and rentals.

Water Well Project
Hadrat Uthman (R.A) came to the Prophet (SAW) and said “O Prophet of Allah (SAW), my mother passed away. What can I do in memory of her?” The Prophet (SAW) replied “Maoon” Hadrat Uthman (R.A) then built a water well in memory of his mother so that people would drink water and his mother would receive Swaab-e-Jaariyah (Muslim / Ibn Majah)
For many years, SANZAF has constructed water wells particularly in villages in Malawi where there are thousands of people who are struggling without access to safe and clean water. Your voluntary contribution will provide people living in poverty with the help they need and will also benefit you.

Fruit Tree Waqf (A Sadaqah Jarriyah Project)
SANZAF has embarked on a Fruit Tree “Leave a Legacy” campaign, to support the Waqf system that can be traced back to the Prophet Muhammed (peace and blessings be upon him) who advised Hadrat Umar (may Allah (SWT) be pleased with him) to pledge a portion of land that he had acquired as Waqf. The land would remain intact and would not be sold, whilst the fruits will be given as Sadaqah (voluntary charity)
The Fruit Tree project is a sustainable resource and the contributions towards this project is a means of Sadaqah Jaariyah (perpetual charity) for the donors.
With your support we were successful in planting 30 fruit trees. We were assisted by the owner of Lotus Nursery who identified appropriate fruit trees for those areas, helped with the planting and up keeping of the Fruit Trees.
