Empowering Vulnerable Children Through Sponsorship Program

When you sponsor an orphan, it gives them a chance to escape their poor living conditions by equipping them with appropriate shelter, education and support so they can go on to build a life that is full of promise and potential.

Access to food, healthcare, education, shelter and emotional support are the fundamentals every young child should have, but there are a number of children in communities around the world who are deprived of these very basic essentials.

A True Story of a Boy Working in a Factory in Pakistan

Meet 8-year-old orphan Allah Ditta from Pakistan. He works in a brick kiln factory every day to support his younger siblings. Being the oldest in his family with no parents.

Millions of children live without the love and protection of families, with nothing more than a piece of cardboard for a blanket and neglect almost guaranteed. No child should have to live such a bleak and painful life, but your donations can help elevate these children into a promising and hopeful future.

We support over 40,000 orphan children in 13 countries, allowing you to sponsor an orphan in Gaza as well as India, Kashmir, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Gambia, Kenya, Mali, Somalia, Sierra Leone and Senegal.

There are so many more children around the world who need our help, and that’s why we’re asking for your support to sponsor an orphan so we can provide every child with a home, access to healthcare, plentiful food and a loving support system.



Child Sponsorship

When you sponsor an orphan in Islam and in general, you are bringing them out of danger and placing them into a safe environment with everything they need in order to flourish and have a fair shot at building a prosperous and meaningful life.

Please help our orphaned children live a happier and healthier life by sponsoring an orphan today.

Benefits of Sponsoring an Orphan in Islam

Caring for orphans and sponsoring an orphan in Islam is a significant part of the religion. Orphans are mentioned multiple times in the Quran and mistreating them is a huge sin while looking after them and sponsoring an orphan is seen as a good deed. There are many benefits of sponsoring an orphan in Islam and it gives Muslims immense rewards. Some of these are:

  • Becoming closer to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH): Sponsoring an orphan is very close to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as he was an orphan. He (PBUH) said “The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this” [Bukhari].
  • Be among the righteous people: Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) saw all human beings are completely equal in status ‘except in piety and good deeds’. Status is dependent upon righteous actions in the eyes of Allah (SWT) and one way to gain this in Islam is by sponsoring orphans.
  • Wealth will be blessed: It can be easy to give less to charity, especially when in crisis. However, the power of charity in Islam is that it never decreases a Muslim’s wealth. Giving charity, such as sponsoring an orphan, blesses wealth and increases it.
  • It is a powerful Sadaqah Jariyah: Even after sponsoring an orphan, Muslims can benefit and gain reward for their compassion. Due to transforming an orphan’s life, Muslims can gain reward for the orphans actions as well, which are immense. These rewards continue long after a Muslim has passed too.
  • Entering Jannah through the gate of Joy: Allah (SWT) will recognise the practical help given to orphans as well as the happiness sponsoring orphans brings to them. This allows Muslims to enter Jannah (paradise) through the gate of Joy.
  • Opportunity to earn the food of Jannah: By doing good deeds and helping an orphan, Muslims can earn wonderful things in Jannah. Allah (SWT) will reward those who help orphans and the needy in Jannah.

How Orphan Sponsorship Works

Your £30 monthly donation will be used to improve every aspect of a child’s life by lifting them out of deprivation and giving them access to food, shelter, education, medical support and a safe living environment.

With your help, we can end the abuse and exploitation of thousands of more children and give them the tools they need, as well as access to opportunities that will help them build a promising life for themselves.

For £30 a month – that’s just £1 a day - you can provide priceless support to our Orphan Sponsorship Programme.

Your kind donation will help to provide food, shelter, clothing, medical care, education, clean drinking water and loving care.

We use a small fraction of your donation as a contingency which means if a child’s sponsorship is ended by the donor, we can continue to provide them with the care and support they have been receiving. Each child has their own needs, so we also use a small percentage of your donations to research and work to find the best assistance for each child, ensuring that it meets our strict high standards.

We would love to be able to help every child that needs it, but we have to prioritise children based on their current circumstances. Younger children, those with little to no familial support, those with medical care requirements and those without shelter take precedence.

We look at the level of poverty and risk of danger as a key deciding factor. We do not prioritise a certain gender; we base our decision on the level of urgency.

We support orphan children long-term, so when you sponsor an orphan, we encourage you to aim to support them long-term too. Our aim is to give each child a good education that will open up access to job opportunities, with the end goal being that the child grows up to become self-sufficient and capable of supporting themselves. We will not end sponsorship and care until we are certain that the orphan is stable and no longer requires our help.

Sponsorship can be ended early if circumstances change. Sometimes, a relative of the orphan may come forward and offer to take guardianship. If we feel like the orphan will have good access to decent shelter, education food, clothes, and – most importantly – emotional care and love, we will end the sponsorship.

Alternatively, orphans can be adopted. In this case, we carefully and extensively assess their potential new home and parents to ensure their key needs are met before we end the sponsorship.

We actively encourage every donor to write to their orphan in order to create a special bond. When sponsoring an orphan, you can write to them to understand the orphan you support, grasp their situation and build a bond to see how your support affects their lives.

We currently work with orphans in 13 countries: Somalia, Gambia, Kenya, Nepal, Mali, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Palestine (Gaza), Pakistan, India and Kashmir, Sierra Leone and Senegal.

We have extensive teams in all of these locations which make it possible for you to sponsor an orphan from the UK and make a difference around the globe.

We operate one of the best child sponsorship programs because our focus is always on the children. We provide support to those who so desperately need it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Our 10+ years of experience have seen so many positive results from the orphans we’ve been able to help. Our dedicated team takes on parental roles and gives constant and full attention to the children in our care. Our teams in the UK and our ELD countries work together to deliver the best and most comprehensive care.

We operate solely to help orphans and so do not run other aid programmes or emergency responses. This allows us to focus all our attention on the children who need us and give them all the resources we can to help them prosper.

We understand that some donors want to send gifts to their sponsored child, but this is not something we encourage or accommodate. There are a few reasons for this, the first being that our orphans are housed either in our orphan village or in homes and residences in poor areas where there are lots of other children in need. To prevent any child from feeling left out, we don’t accept gifts, but we do accept donations of £20 that go into a gift fund that is used to provide gifts for every child at prominent times of the year such as Eid.

Sponsor an orphan today to help transform the lives of vulnerable children who desperately need support, help and vital resources to prosper in life. Equip an orphan with the tools and resources they need to change their lives and have a happy, healthy and productive future. Please help us to aid those in need by showing your support and donating or sponsoring an orphan.
