In a world where childhood should be carefree, many young children carry the heavy burden of orphanhood. Sponsoring an orphan is not just an act of charity; it’s a heartfelt commitment rooted in Islamic teachings.
These children often face harsh realities, growing up without the warmth of parental care, often in poverty and adversity. Islam teaches us to take care of orphans and uplift their lives by providing essentials like food, clothing, education, and emotional support.
Your sponsorship isn’t just a gift; it’s a promise to change a child’s life, offering them the love and care they deserve. Sponsor an orphan through the Islamic Welfare Trust and become a beacon of hope for those who need it most.
“O you who have believed, spend from the good things which you have earned and from that which We have produced for you from the earth. And do not aim toward the defective therefrom, spending [from that] while you would not take it [yourself] except with closed eyes. And know that Allah is Free of need and Praiseworthy.”
Surah Al-Baqarah (2:267-273)
“Have you seen the one who denies the Recompense? For that is the one who drives away the orphan and does not encourage the feeding of the poor.”
Surah Al-Ma’un (107:1-3)
“So as for the orphan, do not oppress [him]. And as for the petitioner, do not repel [him].”
Surah Al-Duha (93:9-11)
Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said, “The best house among the Muslims is the house in which an orphan has been treated well, and the worst house among the Muslims is the house in which an orphan has been treated badly.”
Sahih Bukhari, Book 73, Hadith 34
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was an orphan, yet throughout his life, he ﷺ never felt the absence of his father.
Have you ever wondered why?
Because the people around him understood the importance of caring for an orphan. They looked after him and provided him with the best environment to grow, allowing him to become not only the leader of his nation but also a guiding light and a source of mercy for all of humanity.
Furthermore, he ﷺ was an advocate for the rights of the vulnerable. In numerous narrations, he ﷺ encouraged us to take care of orphans and promised great rewards for those who sponsored an orphan.
As he ﷺ said:
“I and the one who sponsors an orphan will be in Paradise like these two” – and he gestured with his forefinger and middle finger, holding them apart.
Al-Bukhaari, 5304

In Pakistan, a land filled with resilience and hope, there are more than 5 million orphaned children who confront life’s harsh realities. Orphanhood, coupled with poverty, makes their daily existence a challenging struggle. Often, the elder sibling must become the family’s provider, while mothers care for younger siblings. These children endure difficulties, from insufficient food and clothing to limited access to education, and are susceptible to exploitation. Your support can make a profound difference in their lives. We invite you to join us in sponsoring these orphans, offering them the promise of a brighter future.

At Islamic Welfare Trust, we believe that every child deserves a happy, healthy childhood and the opportunity to build a brighter future. Sponsor an Orphan with Islamic Welfare Trust and help realise this vision.
Your sponsorship will help provide food, clothes, healthcare, and most importantly education. With this money, the guardian of this orphan or vulnerable child will have enough funds to properly care for this child.
For less than £1 a day, you can sponsor an orphan in Pakistan, Syria, Yemen or Gaza. Give vulnerable children the chance to break out of poverty and build a better future for themselves.
Millions of orphans and their widowed mothers are living on less than £1 a day. This means they cannot afford nutritious food, buy clothes and shoes to protect themselves from harsh weather, and, most worryingly, cannot afford medical treatments if they fall ill, and education is out of their reach. Unfortunately, if this continues, these numbers will continue to grow. We must act, and we must act now.
