Your winter Sadaqah from the USA shields orphans from freezing temperatures and ensures they have warmth, safety, and dignity throughout the cold months. 

Why Orphans Need Winter Support: Understanding the Crisis 

 

Orphans experience winter differently. Without parents to provide extra blankets, thicker jackets, or a heated home, cold weather becomes a daily threat. 

Across conflict zones and impoverished regions, winter brings: 

• Temperatures that drop below freezing 

• Thin or incomplete shelter 

• Crowded tents with no insulation 

• Limited access to nutritious food 

• Higher exposure to illness and shock 

According to UNICEF and UN OCHA, children in crisis zones are at the highest risk during winter because their bodies cannot regulate cold the same way adults can. Many sleep on bare floors, share thin blankets with siblings, or walk long distances in sandals because winter shoes are a luxury. 

Orphans are always the most vulnerable, and winter is the hardest season they face. 

What Your Zakat Provides in Our Winter Appeal 

Your Zakat or winter Sadaqah does more than deliver supplies. It provides warmth, protection, and emotional safety. Each gift is carefully designed to meet real winter needs in regions facing conflict, displacement, or severe poverty. 

Warm Clothing and Winter Kits 

Children receive: 

• Heavy jackets and thermal layers 

• Warm winter shoes 

• Hats, scarves, and gloves 

• Socks and base layers that trap heat 

These items make the difference between shivering through the night and finally sleeping in comfort. 

Heated Homes and Safe Shelter 

Your support helps families and orphan households receive: 

• Thick blankets and quilts 

• Insulated mats 

• Mattresses for cold floors 

• Heat support where available 

A warm home keeps illness away and gives a child a place to breathe, rest, and feel safe. 

Nutritious Food to Survive the Cold 

Children need more calories in winter. Your donation helps deliver winter-ready food parcels filled with essentials that keep orphans strong, fed, and healthy throughout the cold months.

Why Giving Zakat in Winter Matters for Orphans 

Winter multiplies the needs of orphaned children. Your Zakat ensures they receive essentials that protect them through the coldest months.

(At-Tirmidhi)
