IRaise For Orphan & Children in Need
Children are the most vulnerable among us. We must protect them.
Children around the world are living through a global pandemic while experiencing poverty, conflict, and natural disasters. One in five children lives in a conflict or war zone, and studies show that children who live in conflict zones are at the highest risk of experiencing violence, psychological stress, hunger, loss of education, and lack basic resources.
Over 12 million refugee boys and girls have not only lost their homes, but are no longer able to attend school, and are faced with the threat of COVID-19 and how it could further impact their lives.
The Power of You
The All-Powerful, Allah (SWT), has put power and opportunity in your hands and in your heart to give charity through IRUSA, and to support efforts for our sisters and brothers in need. Here are just some of the ways your donations through IRUSA can be powerful for this project:
$75 can help provide food aid to a child and her family
$250 can implement vocational training programs for young-adult orphans
$500 can open up access to healthcare, education, and more for vulnerable children

A Small Act of Kindness Can Change A Child’s Life Today
IRUSA is working to improve the lives of orphaned children by protecting them from illness; providing them with educational opportunities; and giving them access to proper nutrition, water, and sanitation services. IRUSA donors currently sponsor over 27,200 orphans and in total, the global Islamic Relief community currently sponsors over 77,500 orphans, masha’Allah!
Sponsoring an orphan only costs about $1.50 to $2 a day — less than the price of a cup of coffee. When you sponsor an orphan you help cover their essential needs including:
-
Food
-
Clothing
-
Healthcare
-
Education
Of course, every country is different, and programs for orphans are customized to meet particular needs. In some countries, we focus on a specific need, for example:
-
In Gaza, Palestine, we focus on working with vulnerable groups of society including orphans and children with disabilities. Through the support of our donors, we’re able to provide financial support, clothing, school supplies, recreational activities, and more.
-
In Bangladesh, all of the school-age orphans are attending school, and all of their guardians — often widowed mothers — have received training and started businesses so they can support their children and become self-sufficient.
-
In Somalia, orphaned families (without a father or both parents) are given business skills training to start their own businesses.
What happens when you join the fundraising movement?
When you make the decision to fundraise for the effort, you harness humanitarian power to make a real IMPACT, and that is priceless! By fundraising, you make it possible to meet the needs of more families who are waiting for us to lend a helping hand.
And if you're reading this message, it's because you know you want to go farther and do more.
So, let’s get to it! Just scroll to the top of the page and click "Become a Fundraiser" to set up your page. Follow the prompts to complete your page.
When you’re trying to decide on a fundraising goal, just remember: Every donation counts! Every single donation that comes through your effort, whether small or large, means another person will be served in greater ways. So aim high, and keep pushing.
Once your page is set, you can start promoting it to your friends and family, using emails, social media, text messaging, Whatsapp … whatever way you prefer to communicate.
If you have any questions, email IRUSA Engagement Specialist Salman Zaman at szaman@irusa.org for support.
Most of all, remember to harness the power of you to see this through.
May Allah (swt) reward all of your efforts - AMEEN!
