From Aid to Independence: Supporting Self-Sufficiency
Sustainable livelihoods provide individuals with the skills, tools, and opportunities to build resilience, earn a dignified income, and work towards financial independence.
Yet, globally, over 600 million people of working age are unemployed or underemployed, highlighting the need for long-term, skills-based solutions that empower families to thrive.
At International Waqf Fund, we focus on long-term solutions that empower communities through vocational training, agricultural support, and small business development through our Sustainable Livelihood Waqf Share.

Your Contribution Journey
Your Waqf donation doesn’t stop giving
When you donate a Waqf share, your gift is invested—not spent, it generates ongoing profits every year.
We reinvest part of those profits to grow your impact, and we use the rest to fund life-changing projects around the world.
This is how one donation becomes a lasting legacy.
