The answer

Zakat has specific categories for expenditure, and it is not permissible to spend it on anything else. It is a condition that ownership of the Zakat funds be transferred to the poor and needy who are eligible for Zakat. It is not sufficient to give it to centers that provide aid, especially if not all of the beneficiaries are eligible for Zakat.
