This Ramadan
Sponsor an Orphan
This Ramadan Follow the Sunnah and Help An Orphan
Every child deserves a safe and loving home, but millions of children around the world are orphaned due to war, poverty, and hardship, leaving them without necessities like food, water, and shelter.
Muslim Hands Canada has been caring for orphans in countries including Mali, Niger, Senegal, The Gambia, and Pakistan. Sponsor an orphan for just $60 a month ($2 a day) and provide a child with essentials like food, healthcare, a secure environment, as well as education at one of our Muslim Hands Schools of Excellence.
The Prophet (saw) said, “The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this,“and he (saw) held his two fingers together to illustrate.

Muslim Hands' orphan sponsorship program has been operating since 1993, supporting tens of thousands of orphans in countries including Mali, Niger, The Gambia, Senegal, Pakistan and others. Muslim Hands ensures only the most deserving children are selected for sponsorship. Field officers request legal documents from families, conduct home visits, and assess living conditions. This thorough vetting process guarantees the most deserving orphans receive life-saving necessities like nutrition and health care, as well as education, transportation, books, stationery, and other essentials. The holistic care provided through our orphan sponsorship programs not only transforms the lives of orphans but also positively impacts families and future generations.

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