Overview
“...6 year old Ahmed was abandoned at birth.
To survive he must wake up at 5am every single day
to rummage for food and plastic at landfill dumps...”

At Save an Orphan we aim to help orphans all over the world like Ahmed — to relieve their suffering and to give them a brighter future. We want to “send
them a little hope”
Every day over 6,000 children are orphaned, these children desperately need our help. We understand that we cannot help everyone but by helping rebuild and
renovating orphanages giving orphans a safe place to stay can mean all the difference to those most in need.
From the Qur'an |
"Did He not find you (O Muhammad) an orphan and gave you refuge?” (93:6)
This is the importance of orphans as the most important person in Islam, our beloved Prophet (pbuh), was an orphan, and orphans are mentioned
no less than 23 times in the Qur’an.
This cannot be taken lightly and all Muslims should do all they can for the orphan. |

We aim to raise the standard of living for orphans around the world by providing clean water, proper sanitation, medication, clothing and education, this will
allow all orphans to realise their birthright of living a happy life by developing their potential and paving their way to adulthood.
We see education as the road to lead orphans out of the life of hardship and will put great emphasis on learning through play, and vocational training which
will see children ready to enter adulthood and provide for themselves and their families.
Only education can end this cycle which sees generation after generation living in such terrible
conditions. Children are our future so with your help and generosity we can to ensure that orphans will see a better tomorrow. |
