At Zakat Foundation of America, we consider any child without a parent — or a child who is utterly vulnerable and defenseless with incapacitated or missing parents - to be an orphan. This type of loss is a traumatic reality for millions of children worldwide. 100% of your sponsorship provides food, education, hygiene, and other urgent aid to the child.
Due to ongoing conflict in the Region, we cannot provide information and onboard new orphans as quickly as we wish. We ask for your patience while working with this challenge and still consider submitting a sponsorship with the understanding that you may be assigned an orphan in an alternative country if one isn't currently available for sponsorship in Palestine.
Alternatively, you can donate directly to Gaza through the Emergency Relief or the One Million Meals projects.
All sponsorships (monthly and yearly) will auto-renew unless canceled before the next renewal date. For any questions related to your subscription or to cancel your subscription, please get in touch with [email protected].
Upon submitting your sponsorship, we will send you a bio and photo of your orphan within 5-7 business days. We will make every effort to accommodate your sponsorship request for country and gender but keep in mind that if we don't have a country or gender match we'll automatically select the country most in need and orphan most in need. For areas that are unstable, such as Palestine and Yemen, annual orphan sponsorship updates may be delayed.

We invite you to reimagine orphan sponsorship with us. We say... |
|
|---|---|
|
|
No more choosing orphans from pictures. |
|
|
No more choosing the cutest orphan. |
|
|
No more choosing the youngest orphan. |
|
|
Instead, we say choose orphans unconditionally. We say choose with love |
Sponsor an Orphan or make a donation to one of our Orphan Care funds.
We understand that many people might like to see orphan photos, but we invite you to help us guard our orphans' privacy and encourage equal support for all children. Upon submitting your sponsorship, Zakat Foundation will send you a bio and photo of your orphan within 7 business days.
Our dedicated field reps will update you on your orphan’s progress as you provide food, education, hygiene, and other urgent aid to your sponsored child. But most of all, you provide hope and a promising future!
Since we don’t allow multiple donors to sponsor an orphan, your sponsorship is a one-to-one relationship. You will have the comfort of knowing that your dedicated support is changing the life of your sponsored child.
With your continued support and love, we can make a significant impact on the lives of these innocent children. Our dedicated team shares the same passion for seeing all our children not just survive but flourish. Your gift gives vulnerable children the opportunity to achieve their dreams!
I and one who fosters the orphan shall be like this in Paradise,' and he raised his index and second fingers together, slightly apart.”
Prophet Muhammad, on him be peace
