Orphan Support in Gaza

Care for orphaned children in Gaza with the love, security and opportunity every child deserves.

Thousands of children in Gaza have lost one or both parents. Each is not a number but a child who still needs food, shelter, schooling and the reassuring presence of adults who care — and who now faces the world with the deepest kind of loss.

Orphan Support provides these children with comprehensive, ongoing care through local social workers and guardians: nutrition, clothing, education, healthcare and the emotional support they need to heal. Caring for orphans is among the most beloved forms of charity, and few children need it more than those in Gaza today.

Your sadaqah for orphans becomes daily care in a child's life — a steady hand in a time of upheaval, and a chance to grow up safe, learning and loved.

The special place of orphans in charity

Caring for orphans holds a cherished place in Islamic tradition and in human conscience alike. To shelter, feed and raise a child who has lost their parents is among the most meaningful acts of charity a person can offer.

In Gaza, where so many children have been orphaned, that responsibility falls to all of us who are able to help. Your support ensures these children are not left to face hardship alone.

What orphan support provides

Our orphan programme is designed to meet the full range of a child's needs, delivered with care and consistency by people who know each child.

  • Nutritious food and clean water
  • Clothing and warm bedding
  • Education, school kits and tuition support
  • Healthcare and regular check-ups
  • Psychosocial care to help children process grief

Keeping children within their community

Wherever possible, orphaned children remain with extended family or trusted guardians in their own community, with our support strengthening that care rather than removing children from the people they know.

Local social workers monitor each child's wellbeing over time, so support adapts as the child grows and their needs change.

Frequently asked questions

Is orphan support eligible as sadaqah?
Yes. Caring for orphans is a deeply rewarded form of voluntary charity (sadaqah). Our orphan programme supports vulnerable children who have lost one or both parents. If you have a specific intention such as Zakat, please consult your scholar so it is directed appropriately.
Who looks after the children day to day?
Orphaned children remain with extended family or trusted guardians in their community wherever possible, with local social workers coordinating support and monitoring each child's wellbeing. Your gift strengthens this existing circle of care.
Can I support an orphan on a regular basis?
Yes. Many supporters give monthly to provide steady, ongoing care for orphaned children, which is exactly what these children need. You can also give a one-off gift; both make a real difference to a child's life.
