Plant seeds of mercy for Afghan orphans
Orphan Sponsorship Scheme
Sponsor an Orphan
Across Afghanistan, millions of children are growing up without the protection of parents. War, hunger, and illness have left them alone in a world where safety, education, and even daily meals are far from guaranteed.
Orphan sponsorship offers more than material aid. It gives a child stability, care, and the chance to grow with dignity rather than neglect.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“Blessed is the wealth of a Muslim from which he gives to the poor, the orphan, and the traveller.” (Muslim)
£300 sponsors an orphan for one year
Why orphan sponsorship matters
Every orphan’s story begins with loss, but it does not have to end in hardship.
In Afghanistan:
Without support, many orphans are forced into hazardous labour at a young age, miss out on education, and face exploitation. Emotional trauma, isolation, and poverty combine to steal childhoods and limit future opportunity.
Through orphan sponsorship, you help rebuild what conflict has taken away, safety, belonging, and hope.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“I and the one who sponsors an orphan will be in Paradise like this,” and he held his two fingers together. (Sahih Bukhari)
What your sponsorship supports
Your contribution helps provide consistent, dignified care tailored to each child’s needs, including:
These essentials allow orphaned children to focus on learning, healing, and growing rather than survival.
Real lives, real impact
Last year, Aryana Aid supported orphaned children through structured care, education support, and protection programmes.
Our orphan sponsorship has enabled children who lost parents to conflict and hardship to access regular meals, safe shelter, and education within a stable environment. This consistent support helps children recover from trauma, re-engage with learning, and rebuild a sense of normality and belonging.
In the last year:
Each sponsored child represents a life redirected from vulnerability towards stability and hope.
A child’s journey from loss to hope
Amir, an orphaned child from Afghanistan, saw his life transformed through orphan sponsorship. After he lost both of his parents due to conflict Amir was left without consistent care, education, or stability. Alone and vulnerable, he faced a future shaped by survival rather than childhood.
Through the Orphan Sponsorship Programme, Amir was taken into a safe environment where he received regular meals, clothing, education, and emotional support. For the first time, he was able to return to learning, rebuild confidence, and begin imagining a future beyond loss.
Today, Amir is progressing in his education and growing up within a supportive community that protects his dignity and wellbeing.
Amir’s story shows what sustained care can achieve when compassion is paired with action.
A single act of care may not change the whole world, but it can change a child’s future.
Giving guided by faith
Caring for orphans is a clear command rooted in Islam.
Allah سبحانه وتعالى reminds us:
“They ask you what they should spend. Say, whatever good you spend is for parents, relatives, orphans, the needy, and the traveller.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:215)
Your Zakat and Sadaqah restore dignity, relieve hardship, and bring mercy into the lives of children who have lost everything.
What makes Aryana Aid distinct
Since 2009, Aryana Aid has worked closely with local communities to support orphans and vulnerable families. Our programmes prioritise transparency, local insight, and long-term care rather than short-term relief alone.
Your trust allows this work to continue, turning compassion into practical, life-changing support.
Aryana Aid’s Annual Report documents how donations are used and the impact achieved across orphan care, food aid, medical support, and emergency response programmes.
We believe accountability strengthens trust and honours the amanah placed in us by our supporters.
Orphans deserve safety, care, and the chance to dream.
Your support today can protect a child from hunger, restore access to education, and surround them with care when it is needed most.
