SADAQAH – A voluntary tax which the Muslim community contribute to assist the needy
SANZAF is a faith-based initiative. Since 1974 the organisation has worked to alleviate the suffering
of the needy, the destitute and the oppressed.
In the Muslim faith donating money and volunteering time and services to the needy are considered spiritual
acts. These contributions of time and money are what allow SANZAF to continue to support a range of
different charitable projects in communities across South Africa.
