Why direct your waqf to orphan care?
Across the world, almost 1 in every 20 children is orphaned. That’s over 153 million children, with more children orphaned every single day. 5.4 million children have lost both parents and are all alone in the world.
60% of orphaned children show signs of PTSD or anxiety and 1 in 3 live without regular access to food, clean water, or education. In any society, it’s always the most vulnerable who are at risk of hunger, sickness, and abuse.
Donating your waqf to our orphan care projects ensures that you continue to help the most vulnerable children year after year.
