Why is education important for a Child?

Education provides us the flexibility to differentiate between what’s right and wrong. From a very young age, it teaches children about morality, ethics, justice, compassion. Education is the only tool that could resolve all the issues faced by Muslims. The best education any Muslim can have is Islamic Education, where children from very young age understand the purpose of their life and existence.

Through education, a child will have the ability to question if he sees something wrong. Education helps children discover the solutions to any problems and it teaches them how to approach things from several aspects. It makes them more aware and confident.

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Islamic Welfare Trust to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Islamic Welfare Trust will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Islamic Welfare Trust receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.

When we are on the ground visiting the areas if we come across children who are not attending schools then our local team gets in touch with parents and assure them that all expenses for their child’s education will be paid, they just have to make sure that the child attends school on daily basis.
