The Department of Zakat, Ushr, & Social Welfare, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, is mandated to look after various marginalized segments of the population, such as the poor, destitute women, persons with disabilities, orphans, victims of violence, and drug addicts, through established institutions and autonomous bodies across the province. However, awareness of schemes offered by the Zakat and Ushr Ministry was not readily available or accessible to target beneficiaries or the general public.

An informational app called Mustahiq was developed, allowing users to explore information on various Zakat schemes and programs in local languages and providing access to focal personnel in charge of zakat programs at hospitals and district levels. The app also helps make Zakat and Social Welfare Department’s processes seamless and paperless.
