Why This Matters

There are over 140 million orphans worldwide, many in conflict zones where they face exploitation, child labour, and denial of basic rights. Orphan sponsorship provides a lifeline — covering education fees, school supplies, healthcare, nutritious meals, and emotional support through dedicated social workers.

When you sponsor an orphan, you are paired with a specific child. You receive regular updates including photos, school reports, and progress summaries. Your sponsorship ensures they can attend school instead of working, receive medical care when sick, and grow up with dignity.

What Your Support Provides

  • School fees and educational materials
  • Daily nutritious meals
  • Healthcare and medical treatment
  • Clothing and hygiene supplies
  • Emotional and psychosocial support

Note: Gaza orphan sponsorship is £40/month (£480/year) due to higher operational costs.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) held up his index and middle fingers together and said: "I and the one who sponsors an orphan will be like these two in Paradise." (Bukhari)
