Education & Self-Employment. AMP, realizing its duty towards Community Welfare, the potential of a properly organized Zakat disbursement, and also how Zakat can be effectively utilized to bring out the Community from the throes of misery, had established the AMP Zakat Fund in 2013 to empower the lives of the poor and needy by promoting -   Education & Self-Employment.

Education We feel that we need to focus on Higher Education so that talented and able individuals from the community can gain the skills and qualifications required to grab contemporary opportunities and walk at pace with the fast-evolving world.

Self-Employment There are certain individuals who cannot pursue their academic aspirations because they have to financially support their families from a very young age. For such individuals, we need to offer a window of opportunity by helping them financially for Self Employment to better their means of livelihood and encourage them to establish micro-enterprises.
