World Children's Day

For Every Child, Every Right
World Children’s Day, born from the United Nations’ 1954 call for universal child rights, reminds us that every child’s voice and future are sacred. As global challenges threaten these rights, Zakat Foundation of America’s Orphan Care program stands as hope, protecting, educating, and empowering orphans. By uplifting the world’s most vulnerable, we honor the UN’s vision and help build a just, compassionate future for every child.
