If philaqnthropy is a relevant aspect of religeous practices, religeous traditions and practices are crucial to understand and conceptualize the role nof philanthropy in the past, as well as in the present: non oln because faith based foundation and organizations nare relloevant part of the landscape of philanthropy, but because the relation between religion and philanthropy is a crucial driver in preser5ving the identity for displaced people. Diasporas are powerful agents of philanthropic initiatives.
