Supporting orphans and children

At Islamic Relief, we don’t believe in simply providing one-off care to support children and orphans in need. We instead invest in children’s long-term futures, supporting their families, carers, and local communities to provide long-lasting safe sustainable solutions to poverty and inequality.

We use your orphan charity to provide child-friendly safe spaces, empower communities, and develop long-term solutions to poverty and critical issues such as human trafficking (child labour) and child marriage.

We support children across the globe in a variety of ways, including:

• Sponsoring orphaned children across the globe, providing schooling, regular meals, and financial support for carers/families
• Providing Syrian refugee children with critical education, housing, and nutritional support
• Offering critical food aid to severely malnourished children in conflict-fuelled Yemen
• Ensuring that children living with disabilities and the trauma of war in Gaza can access critical medical and psychosocial care
• Developing integrated child-friendly villages in Mali, offering new classrooms and teaching materials, latrines for both boys and girls, water wells and micro dams to provide a source of clean safe water for everyone and critically: the means to earn an income

By providing nutritional services, health care, water solutions, education and family livelihood support, as well as striving to tackle critical issues including gender-based violence, child labour and climate change with affect local communities and in particular young girls, we’re not only transforming futures; we’re saving lives.

Save a life today, help orphans and children in need today.
