Helping the Orphans

Why Do Orphans Need Help?

There are a staggering number of orphan children worldwide. More than 140 million children are considered orphans by one definition or another. Sadly, there are orphan children who are even abandoned by the statistics! Who counts those who live on the streets, in landfills, and in sewer systems?

Children become orphans of various causes, including accidents, abandonment, abandonment by parents, sickness, poverty, natural catastrophes, and wars.

Because orphanages are the most cost-effective way to care for a large number of children while also providing oversight and accountability for their care, they will continue to be used to address child homelessness until quality foster care, reunification programs, and measures to lessen the effects of poverty exist in a given community.

Sponsor Orphans in Yemen

Children are always at the forefront of human groups that require special attention and careful follow-up in all areas, especially in times of wars and conflicts, where children are exposed to a tremendous number of psychological pressures as well as physical and moral deprivation. Orphans in Yemen require extraordinary care due to their painful reality and the sensitive situation on various levels.

Sponsor Orphans in Palestine

Orphans in Palestine have suffered more than any other group of innocent people in Gaza as a result of the years of war and turmoil in their region. These kids’ lives have been made difficult by the upheaval in Gaza. Due to the violence that has entered their lives, many of them have lost one or both of their parents and are now orphans.

Sponsor Orphans in Syria 

Countless families have been torn apart by the war in Syria. Whole villages have been uprooted, dispersing substantial populations within Syria and pushing more than 5 million into neighboring nations.

Particularly impacted are children, with many of them becoming refugees, some being split up from one or both parents and occasionally having no adult caregiver at all. Syria is home to an estimated 600,000 widows and orphans, and that figure is rising daily.

Sponsor Orphans in Turkey

In Turkey, refugee orphans are living in orphanages. Many of these children live with their siblings and mothers but have lost their fathers. We strive to keep families together to ensure children grow up with love, familiarity, and stability. And you can be a part of this help by sponsoring orphans in Turkey.

Benefits of Sponsoring an Orphan

The Prophet said,

If you want to soften your heart, then feed the poor and pat the head of the orphan.

(Musnad Ahmad).

Whether you welcome an orphan in your own home or sponsor a child in a loving home, you will gain the reward of keeping the child in a loving and caring environment.

Sponsoring an orphan is Sadaqah Jariyah, and it is a guarantee of paradise. The Prophet ﷺ said,

Whoever takes in an orphan among the Muslims to raise, to feed him and give him drink, Allah admits him into Paradise without a doubt unless he has done a sin for which he is not forgiven.

(Jami’ at-Tirmidhi).
