In every generation, charitable giving evolves. The needs remain urgent, but the ways in which people give, connect, and trust have changed. It was from this understanding that sadaqah.uk was established — as a platform rooted in sincerity, transparency, and responsibility.
sadaqah.uk operates under the umbrella of the International Foundation for Children’s Education (IFCED), a UK registered charity, with the purpose of making charitable giving easier, safer, and more impactful.
A Platform Built on Amanah
In Islam, charity is not merely a transaction — it is a trust (amanah). Whether it is Sadaqah, Zakat, or a dedicated donation for a specific cause, every contribution carries both a spiritual and ethical responsibility.
When the idea of sadaqah.uk was first conceived, the guiding question was simple:
How can we create a platform that donors can trust, and beneficiaries can rely on?
Operating under IFCED ensures that sadaqah.uk is governed by:
• UK Charity Commission regulations
• Trustee oversight and accountability
• Robust financial and safeguarding controls
This structure allows donors to give with confidence, knowing their donations are managed responsibly and lawfully.
Why IFCED?
IFCED was established with a clear charitable mission: to support children and communities through education, welfare, and humanitarian assistance. Over time, its work has expanded across multiple regions, always with a focus on long-term benefit rather than short-term relief.
sadaqah.uk was developed as a dedicated giving platform within this framework — not as a separate entity, but as a tool to support and extend IFCED’s charitable objectives.
By operating under an existing UK charity, sadaqah.uk avoids many of the risks associated with informal or unregulated fundraising platforms and ensures that:
• Donations are properly accounted for
• Zakat funds are ring-fenced
• Projects are monitored and reported responsibly
Bridging Donors and Impact
Many donors want to give but are unsure where to turn. Questions around legitimacy, governance, and impact often create hesitation.
sadaqah.uk was designed to address these concerns by:
• Providing clear information about who we are and how we operate
• Offering transparency around fund usage
• Ensuring compliance with both Islamic principles and UK charity law
Our aim is not only to facilitate giving, but to restore confidence in charitable work carried out with sincerity and professionalism.
A Growing Responsibility
Establishing sadaqah.uk under IFCED also comes with a responsibility — to continuously improve, remain accountable, and listen to the communities we serve.
Charitable work is an ongoing journey. As needs evolve, so must the ways we respond. sadaqah.uk represents a step towards a more accessible, transparent, and ethically grounded approach to giving.
Looking Ahead
As sadaqah.uk grows, our commitment remains unchanged:
• To uphold trust
• To serve with integrity
• To ensure that every donation is treated with care
We pray that this platform becomes a means of benefit for donors, volunteers, partners, and most importantly, for those in need.
“The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed that grows seven ears; in every ear there are a hundred grains.” (Qur’an 2:261)
