On the outskirts of Delhi, amongst rubble and the city’s sewage pipes, a collection of shacks and makeshift shelters make up what is referred to by locals as ‘The Widows Colony’. It is here that widows from the surrounding area are forced to seek refuge with their children following the death of their husbands, often the only breadwinner for the family. Through your support, Orphans in Need has taken the responsibility to distribute food packs to these marginalised families, ensuring that they do not remain forgotten.

Please do not forget them. Just £30 a month will provide a food pack for an average-sized family of five.

If you cannot commit monthly, then a one-off donation will still pay for one pack.

“We would like to not only congratulate our Trekkers for conquering the Sahara, but would also like to take this opportunity to thank each everyone who took part in helping to raise funds for the Orphan Village Project.

Your contribution has not only helped towards completing the homes, in fact you helped create safe haven’s for 1000′s of children who will need our help, support, care and attention, now and for decades inshallah.

Your dedication and commitment has proved that we are united!!”

Well done on raising £25,000!!!”

More than just an orphanage.

Simply building orphanages is not enough. Once orphanages are established, we supply financial aid, equipment, staff training, educational materials, medicines, clothing and toys. But it extends beyond the material; we go the extra mile to ensure personal attention to each child.

We are in it for the long run.

Orphans in Need is not here to provide a short-term solution. We only focus on a few projects in a few countries to ensure that we deliver the best solutions so that our children are well equipped to lead fulfilling lives right through adulthood. In line with local culture and education standards, they are taught basic skills such as cooking, arts, crafts, raising crops and keeping livestock. By ensuring that our orphanages are established at places with easy access to colleges and universities, we hope that many will go on to train to become doctors, lawyers, teachers or civil servants.

Help us build them a future filled with hope.

Orphans in Need has already purchased three acres of land at a cost of £100,000 with phase one of the development already underway. The land purchase works out to about £11 per square yard.

We now require your support for the construction of the building.

Please donate today. If it is beyond your means to give a lump sum, you may pay in instalments to fit your budget. Any amount, large or small, will make a difference.

Following the ruthless bombing of Gaza in November 2012 during which at least 161 Palestinians were killed and several hundred injured, Orphans in Need responded with your support by providing essential food and clothing packs to 365 poor widows, orphans and homeless families.

This relief came at a time when lives were lost and homes were destroyed. Our team on the ground identified the most needy communities and ensured that the aid was delivered to them as quickly and efficiently as possible. Our beneficiaries have expressed their sincere gratitude to you, our supporters, for your extreme generosity and selflessness.

Remember, it is only through your continued support that Orphans in Need is able to deliver relief to the most vulnerable orphans and widows.

In numbers

180 packages with basic food essentials were distributed to 180 poor and homeless families. Each food package consisted of 20kg rice, 5kg bread, 4kg sugar, 3l sesame oil,4 meat cans, 6 beans cans, 2 sauce cans, 0.5kg tea, 1L olive oil, 1kg cheese, 4kg cooked chicken and 1.5kg dates.

185 clothing packages were distributed to 185 orphans and homeless families to assist them following the loss of their homes and furniture during the war. Each clothing package also included two layer blankets, a mattress and pillow.

Thanks to the generosity of donors, Penny Appeal was able to meet its target comfortably and generate a surplus of funds which will help the charity to continue feeding across Africa, Asia and the Middle East – with a typical food pack containing meat, rice, a selection of fruit and vegetables, water and milk or juice.

The Ramadan feeding programme began in Syria on Saturday 11th August and continued for ten consecutive evenings in Palestine, Somalia, Mali, Niger, Sudan, Bangladesh, Kashmir, Pakistan and finally Afghanistan on Monday 20th August.

Orphans in Need were instrumental in helping distributing the meals especially with our past experience of running the Widows & Orphans Food Pack.
