The Zakat Department has announced the launch of a Widow Support Card to provide financial assistance to widows. Officials said the program will be rolled out later this month.
Under the scheme, eligible widows will receive financial support directly from Zakat funds. Each qualifying widow will receive Rs100,000 through the Widow Support Card. Additional assistance will be provided based on the number of children. Widows with one child will get an extra Rs25,000, while those with two children will receive an additional Rs50,000.
The Zakat Department has approved Rs4 billion for this welfare initiative. The program aims to support widows and their children, easing their financial difficulties and providing much-needed economic relief.
Officials say the Widow Support Card will ensure timely distribution of funds and reduce delays caused by administrative procedures. By using the card, widows will be able to access the allocated money more efficiently.
The initiative reflects the government’s commitment to helping vulnerable groups, especially widows struggling with limited income and household expenses. Authorities have urged eligible widows to register for the card as soon as the registration process opens.
The Zakat Department will monitor the program closely to ensure proper implementation and transparency. Officials emphasized that the scheme is designed to reach beneficiaries fairly and effectively.
This program is part of broader efforts to use Zakat funds to improve social welfare and provide financial stability to families in need. By launching the Widow Support Card, the Zakat Department aims to empower widows, improve their quality of life, and support their children’s well-being.
