Help transform a child’s life today

All children deserve the best start in life: nurturing homes and safe places to play and learn, nutritional food, and quality medical and emotional care. However, many of these rights are out of reach for the estimated 2.8 million orphans in South Africa (Statistics South Africa).

“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]

Our Orphan Sponsorship Programme, which has been recognised as one of the best in its field, prioritises the care and nurture of orphans in the homes of their family members or guardians. Rather than providing once-off care, we invest in children’s long-term futures, supporting their families, carers and local communities to access safe and sustainable pathways out of poverty.

When you support our Orphan Sponsorship Programme, you are contributing to the essential needs and wellbeing of an orphan through a one-to-one model of ongoing holistic support.

Your contributions to our Orphan Sponsorship Programme help to provide:

• Child-friendly safe spaces for learning and development
• Quality education
• Nutritional, regular meals
• Immediate financial support for caregiving families
• Livelihood support that helps guardians break the poverty cycle
• Medical care
• Psychosocial support

We are currently supporting 1,150 orphans across South Africa, with food, shelter, healthcare and education.
