Giving on limited means: generosity without putting yourself at risk
AmanaFi team · Updated · 1 min read
Generosity does not depend on a large income. With limited means you can give time, a service, advice or small regular sums, taking care not to weaken your own obligations.
The order of priorities
You start by covering essential needs, your family's and your debts due. Generosity comes next, according to what remains, without putting the household in difficulty.
Gifts that cost no money
There are many ways to give.
- Helping a neighbour with shopping or paperwork.
- Sharing a meal.
- Teaching what you know.
- Accompanying someone sick or isolated.
- Pointing someone to available help.
Small but regular
A few dirhams a week, set aside in a box or a dedicated category, make a respectable sum by year end. Regularity matters more than the amount and keeps generosity alive.
Frequently asked
Should I give even when in debt?
You honour debts due first. While doing so, a small gift or a service remains possible, without compromising repayment.
