Sponsor an Orphan in Kashmir
When a child loses a parent, everything changes. Your sponsorship keeps an orphaned child in Kashmir fed, in school, and cared for — protecting their future at the moment they need it most.
About this giving
What is Orphan Sponsorship?
Caring for orphans holds a special place in Islam — the Prophet ﷺ said that the one who cares for an orphan will be with him in Paradise like two fingers side by side. Orphan sponsorship is a sustained commitment to a child who has lost the support a parent provides.
Kashmir carries a heavy burden of orphaned children, whether through illness, accident, or hardship. Our sponsorship covers what a family would — food, school fees, books, uniforms, and healthcare — so a child does not have to trade their education for survival.
This cause is Zakat-eligible — you can fulfil it from your Zakat. Learn about Zakat.
Who your gift helps
Orphaned children across Kashmir who are at risk of dropping out of school, going without proper food, or missing healthcare because the parent who provided for them is gone.

Questions & Answers
Orphan Sponsorship — your questions answered
- Can I pay for orphan sponsorship from my Zakat?
- Yes, provided the orphan's household qualifies as poor or needy — which is the case for the children we support. Orphans who are eligible fall within the Zakat categories of al-fuqara and al-masakin.
- How do I know my sponsorship reaches the child?
- Every sponsored child is verified and their case monitored by our committee in Kashmir. 100% of your gift reaches the child's needs, and our financial reports are publicly available.
- Can I sponsor an orphan monthly?
- Yes. Ongoing monthly support is the most effective way to sponsor an orphan, as it provides stability across the school year. You can also set up recurring giving through our monthly donor programme.
