Sponsor a Child with a Disability

Our motto at Muslim Hands is to help anyone who requires assistance, irrespective of his or her religion, gender, ethnicity, or country of origin.

You can sponsor your child yearly, with the option of making monthly donations. However, we encourage you to support a child until he/she reaches the age of 18.

Yes, your sponsorship is Zakat-eligible. Please ensure you specify this when setting up your donation.

It would be ideal if you could provide 60 days’ notice so we can find a replacement sponsor for your child. If you cannot do this, in the interim, we will support your child through the General Children Fund until the child finds another sponsor. If you cannot sponsor a child, you can continue supporting children with disabilities by donating to this Children with disabilities fund.

Upon sponsoring a child, you will receive an pack that contains information about the child and a recent picture. Thereafter you will receive an annual feedback report updating you on the child’s circumstances, their performance at school as well as a new picture.

You can also request an update on how your sponsored child is getting on by sending an email to mail@muslimhands.ca. Please include your donor ID and orphan ID within the email.

Definitely! You can write to your sponsored child. Please send any communication to mail@muslimhands.ca – letters will be forwarded to the relevant field office. Muslim Hands reserves the right to withhold any letters that we consider inappropriate.

It may be possible for you to visit your child at your own expense. This is determined on a case-by-case basis. If a meeting is permitted, representatives from a Muslim Hands office supervise the visit.
