Give an Orphan a Future: Over 40 years of Honouring a Sacred Duty

Caring for orphaned children is not a momentary act of charity, it is a continuous obligation with lasting spiritual reward.

2026 marks 40 years since Islamic Relief launched our Orphan Sponsorship Programme. We have spent 4 decades building brighter futures for children who have lost one or both parents.

Thanks to the generosity of sponsors and donors, our teams around the world have been able to help save and transform the lives of vulnerable children, supporting them through their childhood and into adulthood.

The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) said

"I and the person who looks after an orphan and provides for him, will be in Paradise like this," putting his index and middle fingers together.

Sahih al Bukhari 6005

Throughout 2026, we will be celebrating our Islamic Relief’s work supporting orphaned children, sharing stories from around the world of how children have flourished with the support of their donors.

Empowering orphans

Islamic Relief aims to combat the main issues faced by children across the globe. With your donations to our orphans fund, we provide child-friendly safe spaces, provide essential healthcare, water and food aid, as well as a quality education.

We empower communities, provide family livelihood support, and develop long-term solutions to poverty and critical issues such as human trafficking, child labour and early/forced marriage.

Four decades of support

First launched in 1986, as part of the Muslim Yateem and Widows Fund, what is now the Orphan Sponsorship Programme began by supporting children in Afghanistan. Over the years, the programme has grown and expanded to 85,500 orphans across 27 countries, including Gaza, Sudan, Albania, Kenya and Pakistan.
