Zakat in Islam in Urdu

A person helps to run a school where 60 boys do Hifz of Quran-e-Kareem, and every year 3 to 6 Hafiz come out of this institution. So, he pays the salary of the Teachers who help these students to make hifz. These students do not pay any fees to the teachers, and do not reside or eat from the school. Just gather from different places to make Hifz and go back their homes. The question is that can this man calculate the Zakawth he has to pay from out of the amount he spends throughout the year for this institution, since boys do not reside or eat in the School.

A different person pays an amount to a committee who arrange Iftar and food for 300 person on each Iftar, through out Ramadan Kareem month every day. There are many poor people who come on daily basis in this Iftar and have their food, where a majority of the locality is very poor and deserving persons. There is a committee who collect amounts on a monthly basis, throughout the year, and spend only in Ramadan for Iftar and meals for this locality and cooking and food arrangements are done in a mosque situated in a poor locality. The question is that, can this man who is a member of this Committee, called Ramadan Committee, can account for the payment he has made through out the year, in the amount he has to pay as Zakawth, or not.

Answers to the above 2 questions are requested in the light of Shariyah.
