Losing a parent can affect far more than a child’s financial security. It can impact their education, health, emotional well-being, and opportunities for the future.
At Islamic Relief South Africa, we believe orphaned and vulnerable children deserve consistent support to help them grow, thrive and build a brighter future.
That is why our support goes beyond meeting immediate needs. Through our Orphan Sponsorship Programme and Goal Getters Programme, we aim to support children throughout their journey from stability and essential care today to confidence, skills and opportunities for tomorrow.
Our Orphan Sponsorship Programme provides ongoing support to help meet children’s essential needs and create greater stability as they grow.
Your sponsorship supports:
These essentials provide children with a stronger foundation, helping them access the care, education and support they need during their formative years.
But sponsorship is about more than meeting immediate needs.
It is about helping children discover their potential.
Children sponsored through our Orphan Sponsorship Programme can also join the Goal Getters Programme, a holistic child development initiative designed to help children aged 6–17 become confident, resilient and future-ready.
Through structured mentorship, personal development planning, life-skills development and guided goal setting, Goal Getters supports children to understand their strengths, set meaningful goals and develop the skills they need to pursue their potential.
Each child can benefit from:
Goal Getters takes a holistic approach to helping children reach their full potential. Through academic and spiritual development, financial literacy, social and emotional wellbeing, physical wellbeing and personal growth, children are supported to build confidence, resilience, practical life skills and a stronger sense of purpose.
Through structured mentorship, personal development and guided goal-setting, the programme helps children become confident, capable and future-ready, creating positive impact that can extend to their families and communities.
Our vision is to empower more than 2,000 children across South Africa, helping shape a generation with the confidence and skills to build a brighter future.
Currently supporting children across 8 educational centres in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg.
