Orphan sponsorship is a monthly commitment that gives a vulnerable child consistent, reliable support across every dimension of their life. It is not a one-off donation. It is a sustained relationship between your generosity and a child’s future.
Through Your Impact Foundation’s orphan sponsorship programme, your monthly donation funds:
Food and clean water — nutritious meals and safe drinking water every day, addressing the malnutrition that is among the leading causes of death for orphaned children in active crisis zones.
Education — school fees, uniforms, stationery, and in many locations school meals and transport. Education is the single most powerful long-term intervention in any child’s life. A child who stays in school has a future. A child who drops out rarely gets that chance back.
Healthcare — regular health checks, vaccinations, and access to medical treatment. In conflict zones like Gaza, where over 80% of health facilities have been damaged or destroyed, this access is not routine — it is life-saving.
Clothing and shelter — basic dignity. A child who is clothed, sheltered, and warm can focus on learning. A child who is not cannot.
Psychological and emotional support — many orphaned children, particularly those in Gaza and Sudan, have witnessed violence, displacement, and loss that most adults will never experience. Psychosocial care helps children process grief, build resilience, and develop the emotional foundations they need to grow.
Guardian support — in most cases, orphaned children live with a surviving parent, grandparent, or extended family member. Your sponsorship also supports the guardian’s capacity to care for the child — reducing the risk of the child being separated from their family entirely.
More than 56,000 children have been newly orphaned in Gaza since October 2023. Many are being cared for by extended family members who are themselves displaced, food-insecure, and struggling to survive. 60,000 children are currently at risk of death due to severe malnutrition in Gaza — and orphaned children are among the most vulnerable.
An estimated 25,000 children in Gaza face unimaginable hardships including malnutrition, homelessness, and limited access to essential services. For these children, orphan sponsorship is not a programme — it is a lifeline.
When you sponsor an orphan in Gaza, your monthly donation reaches a named child through our trusted local partner network. It provides food, essential care, and the stability that is otherwise completely absent from their daily life.
Sudan is experiencing one of the most severe humanitarian crises in the world — and one of the least covered by international media. Years of conflict and economic collapse have left millions of families without income, shelter, or safety. Thousands of children have lost parents to violence, disease, and displacement. Sudan’s orphaned children are in urgent need of sustained support.
Your Impact Foundation is actively supporting orphaned children in Sudan through our trusted partner network. Your monthly sponsorship funds food, education access, and guardian support for children who have almost no other source of consistent care.
Orphaned children are not only in conflict zones. Natural disasters — earthquakes in Pakistan, floods across South Asia — have left thousands of children without parents. Chronic poverty in Yemen has made family survival almost impossible for millions. Your Impact Foundation reaches orphaned children across multiple countries, directing sponsorship funds to where the need is most acute.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was himself an orphan. He knew, from his own early life, what it meant to grow up without the protection and love of a parent. And throughout his life, he placed the care of orphans at the very heart of Islamic virtue.
“I and the one who cares for an orphan will be together in Paradise like this” — and he held his index finger and middle finger together. [Sahih al-Bukhari]
“The best house among the Muslims is one that contains an orphan who is well-treated.” [Ibn Majah]
These are not abstract promises. They are specific, personal commitments from the Prophet ﷺ — guaranteeing that those who care for orphans will be among the closest to him in the Hereafter.
Orphan sponsorship is also one of the most powerful forms of Sadaqah Jariyah — ongoing charity that continues to earn reward long after the donation is made. As a child grows, learns, and builds a future, the benefit of your sponsorship continues to multiply, bringing hope to them and reward to you. Every meal eaten, every lesson learned, every year of school completed by a child you sponsor is a continuing act of charity on your behalf.
This is why orphan sponsorship is not simply a charitable act. For Muslims in the UK, it is a living expression of one of the Prophet’s ﷺ most personal and oft-repeated teachings.
Yes — in many cases, orphan sponsorship qualifies as Zakat. Orphan sponsorship can be eligible for Zakat where the child meets Islamic criteria of poverty and vulnerability. The orphaned children supported through Your Impact Foundation — particularly those in Gaza, Sudan, Pakistan, and Yemen — are overwhelmingly among the poor (fuqara) and destitute (masakeen) who are the primary Zakat-eligible categories under Islamic law.
Your Impact Foundation distributes Zakat in full Shariah compliance, with 100% reaching eligible recipients. If you wish to direct your orphan sponsorship as Zakat, please indicate this when setting up your donation and we will ensure correct distribution.
Your sponsorship can also be given as Sadaqah — voluntary charity — or as a dedicated Sadaqah Jariyah gift, particularly when it funds a child’s education, which carries the potential for ongoing reward through the knowledge the child carries forward throughout their life.
Your Impact Foundation’s orphan sponsorship starts from £30 per month for children in Asia and Africa, and £40 per month for children in the Middle East including Gaza.
Here is what your monthly commitment delivers:
Every penny of your monthly donation is directed to your sponsored child’s welfare. Your Impact Foundation operates with full financial transparency and is registered with the UK Charity Commission (No. 1192710).
Yes—Zakat for orphan sponsorship is valid and highly rewarded when given to eligible children and families in need.
Our Zakat-compliant programs ensure:
Orphan sponsorship may also qualify as Sadaqah Jariyah, offering continuous reward (Sawab) through education and care that lasts for years.
Delivering aid to orphaned children in active conflict zones requires more than good intentions. It requires verified partners, proven delivery systems, and rigorous safeguarding. Here is how Your Impact Foundation ensures your donation reaches the child it is intended for:
Trusted local partner network — we work exclusively through established, verified local partners who have existing relationships, community trust, and operational infrastructure inside the countries where we work. In Gaza, this means partners who are already operating within the territory despite the access restrictions that affect most international organisations.
Safeguarding first — the safety and dignity of every sponsored child is our highest operational priority. Our partners adhere to strict child protection standards, and every child’s family situation is assessed and monitored regularly.
Full financial transparency — as a UK-registered charity (No. 1192710), we are legally accountable for the use of every donation. Our accounts are filed with the Charity Commission and available for public inspection.
Impact reporting — donors receive updates on how their sponsorship is being used. We are committed to keeping you connected to the child your generosity is supporting.
Gift Aid eligible — if you are a UK taxpayer, adding Gift Aid to your sponsorship increases its value by 25% at no extra cost to you. A £40 monthly sponsorship becomes £50 of support for your child automatically.
Orphan sponsorship is a monthly charitable commitment where your regular donation provides a vulnerable child with food, education, healthcare, clothing, and psychosocial support. It is a sustained, long-term form of giving that addresses a child’s needs consistently — not just in a single moment of crisis.
In Islamic tradition, an orphan (yateem) is generally a child who has lost their father and has not yet reached the age of maturity. Your Impact Foundation also supports children whose father’s whereabouts have been unknown for an extended period, and children in contexts where both parents have been lost to conflict or disaster.
Yes. Your Impact Foundation is actively supporting orphaned children in Gaza through our trusted local partner network. More than 39,000 children in Gaza have been orphaned since October 2023. Your monthly sponsorship reaches a named child in Gaza with food, essential care, and support — delivered through partners already operating on the ground.
Yes. Your Impact Foundation supports orphaned children in Sudan, one of the world’s most severe and underreported humanitarian crises. Your monthly donation provides food, educational support, and guardian assistance for a child who has lost a parent to conflict, displacement, or disease.
Yes — where the child meets Islamic criteria for Zakat eligibility, your monthly sponsorship qualifies as Zakat. All orphaned children supported through Your Impact Foundation are assessed for eligibility, and Zakat is distributed in full Shariah compliance with 100% reaching eligible recipients.
The best orphan sponsorship charity is one that is UK-registered, transparent, Shariah-compliant, and operates through verified partners with genuine on-the-ground access. Your Impact Foundation is registered with the Charity Commission (No. 1192710), operates a 100% Zakat policy, and delivers orphan sponsorship through trusted local partners in Gaza, Sudan, Pakistan, Yemen, and beyond.
Yes — particularly when your sponsorship funds a child’s education. The Prophet ﷺ said: “When a person dies, their deeds come to an end except three: Sadaqah Jariyah, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them.” [Muslim] A child educated through your sponsorship carries knowledge forward throughout their life — and that knowledge is a form of ongoing reward for you.
Yes. Many donors give orphan sponsorship as a gift in memory of a loved one who has passed, as a wedding or Eid gift, or as Sadaqah on behalf of someone living or deceased. Please contact us when setting up your sponsorship and we will ensure it is recorded correctly.
Right now, thousands of children in Gaza, Sudan, Pakistan, and Yemen have woken up without a parent to feed them, comfort them, or keep them safe. They are not statistics. They are children who had names, homes, and futures — until the moment conflict, disaster, or poverty took everything from them.
Every day, around 5,700 children lose a parent. In a single moment, their world changes entirely. Instead of thinking about school or play, they must now worry about food, medicine, and a safe place to sleep.
Your orphan sponsorship through Your Impact Foundation changes that story — one child at a time.

Gaza's babies cannot wait. When a mother cannot feed her child, formula is not a choice — it is survival.
In Gaza right now, thousands of infants are going without adequate nutrition. Only enough ready-to-use infant formula remained for 400 children for a month, while nearly 10,000 infants under six months required supplementary feeding. Mothers desperate to keep their babies alive are mixing water with tahini, herbs, and crushed biscuits — substances that can cause severe illness and death in young infants.
Your Impact Foundation is on the ground. We are procuring and distributing sealed, commercially manufactured powdered infant formula — baby milk — directly to families with infants across Gaza, through our trusted local partner network.
One donation. One tin of baby milk. A baby fed.
Donate to our baby milk appeal now.
Sudan is facing the world's worst humanitarian crisis. Over 33 million people need urgent aid. Famine has been declared in Darfur and Kordofan.

When you donate to Sudan through Your Impact Foundation, your Sudan charity gift delivers emergency food, clean water, and life-saving medical supplies to families who have lost everything. The world's most neglected crisis cannot wait any longer.
Donate to Sudan now — every pound saves a life.
Friday charity is among the most rewarding acts of worship you can perform each week.
