Fitrana & Eid GiftPaid before the prayer, eaten on the day. Body
Fitrana, also known as Zakat al-Fitr or Sadaqat al-Fitr, is the small compulsory charity every Muslim gives at the end of Ramadan. It is paid per person, on behalf of yourself and your dependants, and it has a deadline: it must be given before the Eid prayer. Its purpose is plain – so that people who are poor have food on the day everyone else is celebrating.
iHelp Global collects Fitrana from UK donors and delivers it as food to families in Tanzania and Pakistan ahead of Eid al-Fitr. Alongside it, the voluntary Eid Gift option lets you add something for children in those same communities who would otherwise have nothing to mark the day.
More Than DUTY
Fitrana Delivers
- Food in the house before Eid – staples delivered to families in the last days of Ramadan.
- A proper Eid meal – so children eat well on the day, not just watch others celebrate.
- Something of their own – the optional Eid Gift for children who would otherwise have nothing.
- Delivered before the prayer – timed so your Fitrana counts as Fitrana, not late Sadaqah.
Eid Morning, For Children
The Eid Gift is voluntary Sadaqah, separate from your Fitrana. It goes to children in the communities iHelp Global supports – many of them orphans already in the charity's care – so that Eid day brings them something of their own. It is a small thing to give and, for a child who expects nothing, not a small thing to receive.
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made Zakat al-Fitr obligatory… upon every Muslim, slave or free, male or female, young or old, and ordered that it be paid before people go out to the prayer."
Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), Sahih al-Bukhari

One Payment for the Whole Household
Fitrana is due for every member of your family, including children, and is paid by the head of the household.
Enter the number of people, pay in a single transaction, and add an Eid Gift for a child in someone's name if you wish.

The Right Timing, in the Right Place
Fitrana must reach the poor before the Eid prayer to serve its purpose. iHelp Global's local teams in Tanzania and Pakistan buy and distribute food in the final days of Ramadan so that it does.
Recipients are households the teams already know – families who would otherwise see Eid arrive with nothing to cook.
Why Pay Fitrana Through iHelp Global
iHelp Global is a UK-registered charity (Charity No. 1152490), founded in 2009, with food pack distributions in Tanzania and Pakistan since 2014.
The per-person rate is set each year and published on this page, and one transaction covers your whole household.
One Small Payment, One Whole Eid
Fitrana is a few pounds per person. Collected from many donors and spent where staple food is cheap, it becomes a proper Eid meal in homes that would not have had one.
Add an Eid Gift and a child in that same community has something of their own to mark the day.
