A Muslim family charity, open to everyone

Blessed to bless.

Good that grows itself. Our first project: an Orphan House in Gujranwala, Pakistan, and around it, a community that will stand on its own.

Give now Watch our story unfold

Those who have blessingsmust beblessings.

Everything we build begins there.

It began long before us.

Two families, two countries, one habit of giving. Then one name.

    40+ years of giving, every single year.

  2. A paper brick neighborhood in Gujranwala, a grandfather sharing bread at a doorway

    40+ years of giving: a mosque built, and the neighborhoods around it never alone.

    Two traditions of giving become one Swiss charity: SAKIDAN.

A child who loses their parents should not lose more: a home, a school, a future. That is where we begin.

First, a home.

The Orphan House: beds, meals, caregivers who stay, school and health care. Every day of the year.

Give to the Orphan HouseSee the plans

Then, a community that stands on its own.

Around the home, we will build everything a child needs to grow up and stay: learning, care, clean water, clean power and work.

Our mission and our vision

Our mission

A community that stands on its own, starting with our first project in Gujranwala, Pakistan: an Orphan House, then a school and college, a clinic, clean water, clean power and a path to skills and careers.

Our vision

Good that grows itself. Powered by care, made stronger by innovation, built with technology.

From the community.

Progress, decisions and the people behind them. Four letters a year, and these notes in between.

A community needs many things. We start with a home for children who lost their parents.

SAKIDAN is the family, spelled out. Here is what each letter stands for.

Zakat has its own fund at SAKIDAN. It never pays running costs and never mixes with other gifts.

Questions people ask before they give

Does all of my gift reach the project?
Yes. ENIXEN Group covers SAKIDAN's running costs, so 100% of public gifts reach projects. You can also choose to cover the card fees when you give.
Do I need to be Muslim to give?
No. SAKIDAN is the charity of a Muslim family, and it is open to everyone: people of every faith and of none give, volunteer and partner with us. Zakat simply has its own fund for those who pay it.
How do you handle zakat?
Zakat goes into its own fund and is spent only on people eligible to receive it, as set out in the Quran. It never mixes with other gifts.
Will the children be expected to work for ENIXEN Group?
No. Internships and jobs are an opportunity, never an obligation. No child owes SAKIDAN or the Group anything.
Can I get a Swiss tax receipt?
SAKIDAN is tax-exempt for public utility. Receipts are sent every January for the year before.
Can I visit the projects?
Yes, with the family and under our safeguarding rules. Write to us and we will plan it with you.

Blessed to bless.

A self-sustaining future, powered by ENIXEN Group, its people and the community that grows with it. A Muslim family charity, open to everyone.
