Orphan & Children's Fund

Help give vulnerable children a brighter future

“Whoever does not show mercy to our young ones, or acknowledge the rights of our elders, is not one of us.” (Hadith Ahmad)

£10 – help to cover the cost of food for an orphan for a month.

£25 – help to provide an orphan with food, clothes, and school supplies

£35 - provide an orphaned child with food, shelter, healthcare, clothes and school supplies for a month.

£210 - provide an orphaned child with food, shelter, healthcare, clothes and school supplies for six months.

This Ramadan, 149 million children across the world are stunted due to poor nutrition. Almost half of all children who die are killed due to sicknesses related to undernutrition.

Our Orphan and Children's Fund helps some of most vulnerable children, providing them with food, warm clothes and school supplies. Right now, there are 6,432 orphans registered with us, each awaiting a sponsor to care for them.

Multiply your blessings by supporting orphaned children this Ramadan.

Why support this fund?

If you can’t sponsor an orphan with a monthly donation, this fund allows you to still make the intention to support an orphan, an act so beloved by our Messenger (PBUH). We’ll pool your donation with other donors, allowing you to help an orphan, no matter how much you give.

Your donation will help to provide a child who has lost their father or both parents with a monthly stipend, which their mother or caregiver uses to provide them with food, shelter, school supplies, clothes, and healthcare. To protect childhoods and futures, a child must stay in education to receive the sponsorship, except for those in emergency situations or with chronic illnesses.

As we wake each morning of Ramadan, there will be another 5,700 children who become orphans, and a total of around 153 million children are currently orphaned. In any community, orphans are always one of the most vulnerable groups, often facing hunger, disease, exploitation and extreme cycles of poverty that they need help to break out of.

Your sponsorship can help a child to break that cycle, and give them the opportunity that all children deserve – a chance to be healthy, protected, and educated.

Sponsor through Human Appeal

We’ve been helping supporters to sponsor orphans for 33 years. Currently, our supporters are sponsoring over 32,000 orphans across 14 countries – that’s almost 10,000 more children sponsored than a year ago.

We also support orphans throughout their education, even after they turn 19. Right now, we have 665 sponsored orphans studying in university, working hard to build their futures.

Our child welfare officers continue to have a high presence in the field, with frequent visits to orphanages and refugee centres across 14 countries to identify and register orphans who need our support. In every country where we sponsor orphans we have a dedicated child safeguarding officer and all staff are trained on child protection.

Give, and spread mercy to a child who depends on the ummah for protection, and reap the unique blessings of supporting an orphan in Ramadan.

Transform the future of a vulnerable child.

Give mercy today.
