Orphan and Widows 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. DONATE NOW 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 orphans, helping safeguard their iman and providing them a chance where there one was not.
