Every year, hundreds of refugees and asylees arrive in Chicago seeking safety from war, famine, and violence. Adjusting to life in a new country can be challenging, and many need immediate support to rebuild their lives.
Zakat Chicago partners with trusted refugee and asylee support organizations that welcome individuals from around the world and provide essential services during this transition.
Through these partnerships, we help families and individuals by offering rental assistance, funding English language classes, and supporting job training programs. We also encourage asylees to build life skills and pursue education opportunities that empower them for the future.
Your generosity can make a profound difference. Donate today to help those escaping persecution find hope and stability in Chicago.
وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَهَاجَرُوا۟ وَجَـٰهَدُوا۟ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَاوَوا۟ وَّنَصَرُوٓا۟ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ حَقًّۭا ۚ لَّهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌۭ وَرِزْقٌۭ كَرِيمٌۭ
Those who believed, migrated, and struggled in the cause of Allah, and those who gave ˹them˺ shelter and help, they are the true believers. They will have forgiveness and an honourable provision. (Surah Al Anfal, 8:74)
