Support Children in Distress

Approximately 153 million orphans exist globally, with nearly 6,000 more children becoming orphans each day. Alarmingly, one in five children resides in conflict or war zones, exposing them to elevated risks of violence, psychological stress, hunger, disrupted education, and limited access to essential resources. Tragically, over 12 million refugee boys and girls not only face the loss of their homes but also encounter barriers in building a future for themselves.

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.
