Why Give To Orphans?
“Blessed is the wealth of the Muslim, from which he gives to the poor, the orphan, and the wayfarer.” (Muslim)
All children deserve a loving and stable home. Unfortunately, millions of children around the world have lost one or both parents because of war, conflict, poverty, and other hardships. These vulnerable children are not only deprived of a home but also lack essentials like food and clean water.
There are approximately 153 million orphaned children, and 333 million children around the world live in extreme poverty.
By sponsoring orphans, you can provide them nutritious meals, education, vital health services, and ongoing security and support. For only $60 per month ($2 a day), ensure a child receives everything he or she needs to thrive and flourish.
The act of caring for orphans was particularly dear to our Prophet (PBUH) reminding us of our duty as Muslims to care for the less fortunate.
Follow the Prophet’s legacy and make a difference in the lives of orphans. Your kindness can save lives.

The process is as follows: simply attach a letter to an email, e.g. in Word, and we will get it across to the orphan carer. You should email us on mail@muslimhands.ca including your donor ID and orphan ID.
A. You can provide funds for gifts, which will be delivered to relevant field offices and sent to your sponsored orphan. However, you cannot have direct contact with the orphan.

If the orphan attends a non-Muslim Hands school, the guardian is given the funds and trusted with ensuring the orphans' needs are met. The amount covers school fees, uniforms, books, stationery, medical and health checks, food, and if possible, transportation. The remainder is kept at our field offices for project delivery and future fundraising and marketing efforts.
