ORPHANS & CHILDREN
Support Children in Distress
Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), said: “‘I and the one who looks after an orphan will be like this in Paradise,’ showing his middle and index fingers and separating them.” –Bukhari




Orphan Sponsorship
Islamic Relief orphan sponsors play a pivotal role in the transformative journey of children, granting them access to essentials such as food, healthcare, education, and shelter. At present, IRUSA donors are sponsoring approximately 28,800 orphans. When combined with the support of Islamic Relief donors globally, we collectively contribute to improving the lives of more than 85,000 orphans, offering them the hope of a brighter future.
You can become the latest addition to this community of compassionate sponsors. Make a meaningful impact by donating $100 per month ($1,200 per year), providing the care and support necessary for an orphan to break free from the cycle of extreme poverty. Join us in creating a positive change in the lives of these children.
