DONATE NOW APPEALS OUR WORK GET INVOLVED ABOUT ORPHAN AND CHILDREN’S CHARITY Orphan Charity: Save a child’s life today Every child deserves the best start in life: a happy home, a safe place to play and access to quality education, medical care and nutrition. However, for the 1 in 5 children worldwide living in extreme poverty, many of these simple necessities and rights are out of reach. Instead, their life is incredibly challenging, with the risk of illiteracy, disease, child labour, lifelong poverty and even death. Donate to orphans and children today and help save lives. £45 £100 £150 Other can provide education and school kits to 5 families DONATE NOW Living in refugee camps, traumatised by war or simply unable to go to school in their local community due to crippling poverty, these children lack the means to keep safe at home, access critical education and medical and/or psychosocial care. Their futures look unsafe, uncertain and bleak. “The Messenger of Allah (SAW) 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) By sponsoring an orphan, you can help save and transform the lives of vulnerable children around the world.
