Our goal for this campaign is to raise $6,000 towards sponsoring 10 orphans from Africa for a year. From the 10 orphans, 5 are from Kenya and 5 from Somalia. This sponsorship will provide them access to simple life necessities like education, shelter, food, and clean water.

1 in 5 children worldwide are in extreme poverty and living in uncertain environments. By donating and sponsoring orphans, we can help provide them the better and stable life that they deserve. Let us be there for them and be their source of hope of having a positive and bright future.

As narrated by Prophet Muhammed ﷺ, “The one who takes care of an orphan is with me in Paradise like this”, holding his two fingers up together. [Al-Bukhari]

Be sure to share this fundraiser with your friends and family as it gives them the opportunity to contribute to making a change in an orphan’s life. For every donation they make, the blessings of the reward will come back to you for sharing the cause.

Peace be upon you,

UW OSP
