Eligibility memo

Reasoning

Direct, family-by-family distribution of food and hygiene goods to displaced families matches providing essential goods directly to those in need and direct transfer to individuals. However, recipients in this category must be Muslims, which the draft does not specify; please confirm before verification.

Original draft

Help us provide emergency food parcels to 200 displaced families in Khartoum, Sudan. Each parcel contains rice, lentils, cooking oil, and hygiene supplies for one month. Families fled the conflict with nothing and currently shelter in temporary camps outside the city. Distribution is direct, family-by-family, with photo receipts.

• 200 displaced families — Confirm recipients meet the Muslim-recipient requirement for this category (ZP-1.1).
• Distribution is direct, family-by-family, with photo receipts. — Supports direct transfer to individuals as required (ZP-1.1).
• hygiene supplies for one month — Part of essential goods provided directly to those in need (ZP-1.2).

Clarifying questions to ask the campaigner

• Are the 200 displaced families Muslim? How will you verify recipients meet the Muslim-recipient requirement for Zakat?
• Will each parcel be transferred in-kind to a specific family with clear ownership (not communal distributions)?
• What is the per-parcel cost and planned distribution timeline in Khartoum?
