In the midst of devastation and conflict, children are often the most vulnerable. Gaza’s orphans—those who have lost one or both parents—face not just grief, but a daily struggle for basic needs: shelter, food, healthcare, education, and emotional support. As-Siraj’s “"https://as-siraj.org/sponsor-an-orphan-in-gaza/">Sponsor an Orphan in Gaza” programme offers a powerful and tangible way to help.
Why It Matters
Urgent Need: These children live amid instability, trauma, and scarcity. Many lack the security and care every child deserves. Providing them with shelter, healthcare, nutrition, and mental health support is not a luxury—it’s essential. as-siraj.org
Holistic Support: As-Siraj doesn’t just cover material needs. The programme includes psychological care, education, and ongoing support to help children recover from trauma and build resilience. as-siraj.org
Spiritual Moral Significance: In Islam, caring for orphans is deeply respected. As-Siraj frames its sponsorship opportunity not just as charity, but as fulfilling a moral and spiritual duty—earning blessings, in this life and beyond. as-siraj.org
How Sponsorship Works
Flexible Options: Whether through a monthly commitment or a one-off donation, donors can help according to their ability. as-siraj.org
Transparent Process: With secure online systems, donors can choose the age, gender, and even receive updates on their sponsored child’s progress. as-siraj.org
Alignment with Zakat: The programme makes it clear that sponsoring an orphan who is in need may be eligible as Zakat, provided the criteria are met. This offers a way for donors to fulfill religious obligations while helping those in dire need. as-siraj.org
Why As-Siraj Stands Out
As-Siraj emphasizes transparency, ethical oversight, and a mission focused squarely on the welfare of orphans in Gaza. as-siraj.org
It offers meaningful engagement—not just giving money, but seeing impact through regular updates and knowing that the support is being used directly to help those who most need it. as-siraj.org
