Orphans

Alarmingly, one child is orphaned every 22 seconds in the world. Life is no doubt hard for these children. Fortunately, there is a system in place today that provides for these children and gives them access to some of the essentials of life such as food, clothing, shelter and even education.

Of the many members of society, orphans are among the most vulnerable. This is particularly true in countries where there is little social support and where services are largely inadequate.

The noble values which Islam has laid out can be summarily understood by looking at the importance the religion has given to looking after orphans.

Alhamdulillah, Ummah Hands supports thousands of orphans, helping safeguard their iman and providing them a chance where there one was not.

Transforming a life costs us little but ensures us a place in Paradise inshaAllah. It is a means of continuous charity as the donor receives rewards for all the good that the sponsored child does.

The cost of sponsoring an orphan is £25 per month or £300 per annum. This amount helps cover the childs food, health and education costs.

Widows

Wives and children have been left reeling and grieving losing not just a beloved man but the little financial income that they had. Now widowed and orphaned, they face the hardest of circumstance alone just to survive each day.

Across the globe, poverty, war and natural disaster have claimed the lives of many. For many communities, men have lost their lives in their efforts to protect their families.

It is very difficult for widows to financially support themselves if they have children to look after. This problem is aggravated in countries which do not offer any support to them. By sponsoring a widow and her children, you can ameliorate their difficulties by covering their basic needs
