“I and the one who takes care of an orphan will be in Paradise like this, and he held his two fingers together."

— Sahih al-Bukhari

Caring for an orphan is more than an act of generosity. It is a responsibility our faith reminds us to uphold.

This Giving Season, give a gift that goes beyond a single moment. Become a source of continued care, support and opportunity for an orphan.

Behind these numbers are children whose needs continue every day. A child needs more than a gift during the holiday season. They need care and support they can count on throughout the year.

This Giving Season, let your generosity become part of that continued support.

Because being a constant support in an orphan’s life is the biggest gift he/she can ever receive.

Where Your Donations Will Go

What Your Gift Can Provide

One gift. Essential support. A chance to thrive.

Through ARCD’s existing orphan sponsorship programme, your contribution helps support children’s essential needs.

Story of Hajara

After losing Hajara’s father, Alhassan, Mamunatu Seidu is doing everything she can to care for her granddaughter and build a more secure future for her family. Despite financial hardship, she continues making shea butter and farming to make ends meet. Mamunatu is trying to keep her family going, but she cannot do it alone.

This is one child’s story, but the need for care and opportunity extends far beyond one family. Their circumstances differ, but the importance of consistent care remains.

Every child deserves to know that support has not stopped at the end of a season.
