Making Ethical Donations Impactful and Sustainable

At 5alas, we believe in restoring dignity through local giving. By enabling donors to support neighbours in need via their local mosque, we directly contribute to ending poverty in all its forms (SDG 1). Each donation provides essentials to those facing financial hardship, helping build a safety net rooted in community care.

No one should go hungry. 5alas helps communities tackle food insecurity (SDG 2) by connecting donors to locally sourced food items that are delivered to trusted mosques and distributed with compassion. This ensures culturally appropriate meals reach families who need them most, with dignity and respect.

Good health starts at home. 5alas supports well-being (SDG 3) by enabling donations of hygiene products, household supplies, and health-related essentials. Our platform empowers donors to help neighbours live in cleaner, safer environments — because small items can make a big difference.

We back local economies with every donation. By sourcing items from community-based suppliers, 5alas promotes decent work and inclusive economic growth (SDG 8). This approach not only supports livelihoods but also ensures your donation strengthens the very community it’s helping.

Everyone deserves equal access to support. 5alas reduces inequality (SDG 10) by making it easier for underserved individuals to receive what they need, regardless of background or circumstance. We do this through verified community networks that prioritise fairness and dignity.

Stronger communities are built on trust and connection. By using mosques as local hubs, 5alas contributes to more inclusive and resilient cities and neighbourhoods (SDG 11). We empower people to support their local area — and to do so in ways that foster long-term well-being.

We believe giving should match real needs. At 5alas, donations are based on what beneficiaries actually request, supporting responsible consumption and production (SDG 12). This ensures less waste, smarter distribution, and ethical local sourcing that benefits all involved.

Climate-conscious giving matters. By using local suppliers and reducing transportation distances, 5alas helps minimise environmental impact and supports climate action (SDG 13). Every locally delivered product is a step toward a greener, more sustainable future.

Trust is central to what we do. 5alas strengthens transparent systems and community trust (SDG 16) by working with mosque volunteers, verifying beneficiaries, and ensuring donations are used as intended. This builds fairness and accountability from the ground up.

Real change happens together. 5alas brings donors, mosques, suppliers, and volunteers into one ecosystem — creating meaningful partnerships that deliver impact locally and globally (SDG 17). Our model shows that even small acts, when united, can drive big change.
