The Messenger of Allah said, “He who does not show mercy (towards children), no mercy would be shown to him.” (Hadith Muslim)
$50 pm/$600 pa -Sponsor a Palestinian child.
When grandfather Khaled gave his heartbreaking last embrace of his granddaughter Reem, the little girl with pigtails in Gaza, it touched the hearts of millions around the world. Reem was killed in an airstrike before she could reach her fourth birthday, which was also her grandfather’s birthday.
It’s a terrible vision that has been repeated over and over. Each day we witness as another child comforts their younger sibling, or weeps over the body over their mother, or begs for their father to wake up.
No child should ever have to see what children in Gaza have witnessed. An estimated 17,000 children in Gaza are now orphaned or separated from their families. Approximately all 1 million children in Gaza now need mental health services. It has been a campaign that has brutally affected children more than any other group.
This Ramadan, be a mercy to the most some of the most vulnerable children in the world. Orphans in Gaza are under threat of bombing, starvation, dehydration, and disease. Sponsor an orphan in Palestine and help us to care for children left all alone in the world.
A sunnah this Ramadan
The Messenger of Allah was an orphan who grew up to care for orphans, promising those who followed this sunnah a special place in Jannah. It's one of the beautiful examples of community within our religion - supporting the most vulnerable of our ummah.
Seek the blessings of Ramadan – when good deeds are multiplied many times over – by sponsoring an orphan today.
Sponsoring an orphan isn't just following the legacy of the Messenger (PBUH); it also assists the child's mother or caregiver with the expenses for:
Become a sponsor and help reintegrate a child into school, providing them with a safer today and a brighter tomorrow.
Half of the population of Gaza are children and there are currently over 1,500 orphans that need your sponsorship, support and care. You can also help the children of Palestine by supporting our Soul of My Soul Palestine children's fund.
The most dangerous place on earth
Over 30,000 Palestinians have lost their lives since October 7, including more than 12,500 children. Thousands of children are injured, and thousands have become orphans. The UN says Gaza is by far the most dangerous place on earth to be a child.
A lack of food, water, shelter, and sanitation continues to put children’s lives at risk as they suffer under relentless airstrikes with no safe place to go. Children have already begun to die from malnutrition and dehydrations. Now, it is expected that the number of child deaths from hunger and disease while surpass those from bombardment.
How it works
Sponsor an orphan – either monthly or annually, and you’ll provide a stipend to their mother or caregiver. This helps to cover the cost of their food, shelter, water, healthcare and any other essential needs.
Twice a year you’ll receive a report telling you how the child you sponsor is doing, with updates on their health and studies. Since October, our visits to children in Gaza have been paused until we’re able to switch from immediate life-saving aid to reporting on each child’s wellbeing, once a ceasefire is called inshallah.
Remember the children of Palestine
This Ramadan, do not forget the thousands of innocent children who are now with Reem in Jannah. Join us in calling for an absolute ceasefire and the immediate opening of the borders.
Be a mercy to a child left all alone in Gaza. Sponsor a child in Palestine, and reap the multiplied blessings of this sunnah, while helping to ease the hardship for a child in the immediate.
Become a sponsor today.
“He who does not show mercy (towards children), no mercy would be shown to him.”
