Building fund appeal
Donate from Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei or Indonesia
Many Muslim students, workers and families from Southeast Asia make their home in New Zealand. For six years Aman Islamic Trust has served the city from rented rooms. We are raising NZ$1.5 million to buy a permanent masjid and Islamic centre, and your support from home would help us build it.
Give online by card
Choose an amount in New Zealand dollars. Card payments are processed securely by Stripe, and you will get an emailed receipt.

Giving from Southeast Asia
- Give online by card below. The form charges in New Zealand dollars and your bank converts it to ringgit, Singapore dollars or rupiah.
- For a bank transfer, choose a telegraphic or international transfer to New Zealand and use the SWIFT code KIWINZ22 with the Kiwibank details on this page.
- New Zealand does not use IBANs. If your bank asks for one, enter the full New Zealand account number.
- Online transfer services and remittance apps are often cheaper than a bank telegraphic transfer.
Why a masjid in Wellington needs your help
Our Sunday lectures, Quran classes, youth programmes, Ramadan iftars and Eid prayers all happen in rented rooms that are often full to the walls. A permanent home would give Muslims in New Zealand's capital a lasting place for the five daily prayers and for the next generation. Every gift, large or small, goes to the building fund.
Time difference
New Zealand is 4 to 5 hours ahead of Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, and 5 to 6 hours ahead of Jakarta. If you call us, please allow for this, or simply email admin@amanislamictrust.com.
Tax
Tax relief in these countries generally applies only to locally approved charities, so a gift to a New Zealand charity usually cannot be claimed. Please check with your tax adviser.
Questions from donors in Southeast Asia
Can I give Zakat to this appeal?
The building fund is for Sadaqah. If you wish to give Zakat, please contact us first so it can be directed only to eligible recipients.
How long does a transfer take?
International transfers from Southeast Asia usually arrive within one to four business days.
Will I get a receipt?
Yes. Online gifts get an emailed receipt straight away. For bank transfers, include the reference BUILD and your name, and email us so we can send your receipt.
