ZIST is an organization formed with a motive for planned collection and distribution of Zakat and Sadaqat, spending the same for more productive than consumptive purposes, handholding eligible recipients to help them come out of recipient status in due course and helping donors track impact of their contributions. It has identified certain enterprises such as sheep farming for choosing to transform eligible beneficiaries.

The poor and needy farmers rear sheep and in turn help other eligible farmers by sharing their profits from progeny with them. It is envisaged to bring poverty alleviation by networking of farmer groups helping one another. It multiplies the received Zakat and Sadaqat money through the trusted chain of recipients and as such helps to reach out to more number of beneficiaries from the same.
