Patna, BIHAR :

For years M. Amjad of Patna worked at a jewellery purse-making agency, earning barely ₹5,000–6,000 a month – an amount too small to cover even the basic needs of his family.

In 2025, with financial support of ₹20,000 from ZCI–Patna, Amjad seized the opportunity to start on his own. Today, his earnings have more than doubled, giving his family both financial security and a sense of dignity.

Amjad’s journey is a shining example of how Zakat, when channelled with vision, becomes more than charity – it becomes a tool of empowerment. By enabling individuals to stand on their own feet, Zakat Centre India is fulfilling its mission of transforming recipients into contributors, and compassion into lasting change.
