When you sponsor an orphan through Muslim Hands, you’re directly supporting a child in need. Your contribution goes to our field offices for immediate distribution, ensuring the child receives food, healthcare, education, and a safe environment.  

Every dollar is allocated to the orphans, giving them the care and stability they deserve. 

Our teams conduct thorough background checks to verify each child’s eligibility as defined in Islam (a child whose father has passed away).

As a sponsor, you’ll receive a welcome pack with details about your sponsored orphan and annual progress updates such as their hobbies, pictures, and progress in school.

Our orphan sponsorship program has been operating since 1993 in countries such as Pakistan, Mali, Yemen, The Gambia, and Niger.

At Muslim Hands USA, we ensure that only the most vulnerable children receive sponsorship.

Our teams carry out a thorough selection process to identify children who have lost one or both parents and are in urgent need of support. Our field officers verify official documents, including death certificates and legal paperwork from guardians, to confirm eligibility.

We also visit the families, assessing their living conditions to ensure that support reaches those who need it most. 

This careful process guarantees that your sponsorship provides food, education, healthcare, and security to orphans who would otherwise struggle to survive.
