Support Islamic Relief Canada Orphan Sponsorship in Gaza
The recent escalation in Gaza has led to devastating consequences for its residents, particularly for the children. Hundreds of young souls have been newly orphaned, thrown into a life of uncertainty, fear, and deprivation. These children face not only the trauma of losing their parents, but also the harsh realities of the ongoing conflict. They are in desperate need of our help to secure the most basic necessities of life.
Islamic Relief is currently on the ground in Gaza, striving day and night to provide emergency aid and implement long-term support programs, including crucial orphan sponsorships. We urgently need your generous support to ensure that these efforts can continue and expand to meet the growing needs.
We are appealing to you to help us in this critical mission of sponsoring 700 orphans in Gaza who are currently on a waitlist and are waiting to be sponsored. For just $90 a month or $1080 per year you can offer one orphan the lifeline of food, clothing, and shelter. Islamic Relief's 1-to-1 sponsorship method ensures that you will be paired up with an orphaned child allowing your donation to directly impact that child's life. Because these 700 orphans are already in our system, there will be no delay in sending the bio-data of each orphan that is sponsored to the donor.
Other ways in how you can support:
- Briefly share the plight of Gaza’s orphans during Jummah prayers, encouraging the congregation to sponsor just one orphan.
- Use masjid bulletin boards, social media, and newsletters to share this message and educate our community about the ongoing crisis, and our plea to sponsor orphans in Gaza.
- Give to the appeal from Zakat ulmaal funds, or Sadaqa fund by cheque, online, or e-interac, or eft transfer
- Encourage community members to commit to a monthly sponsorship via the Islamic Relief website
- Lastly and most importantly, please pray for all those impacted by the crisis and our teams in Palestine
