Story

From poverty to self-sufficiency in four years

Islamic Relief donors already enable us to provide one-to-one sponsorship for over 50,000 orphans around the world, helping to ensure that vulnerable children have food on their plates and can go to school each day. In addition to this, we are pioneering a new alternative to one-to-one sponsorship in Bangladesh that not only offers education and protection for children but also provides their guardians with the funds, skills and business acumen they need to make whole families self-sufficient within four years.

Our exciting project, the Alternative Orphans Programme, achieves this by:

Providing livelihoods support – working with families to create a business plan, and providing necessary start-up costs in the form of an interest-free loan as well as relevant training.

Encouraging education – ensuring that 100% of child beneficiaries are enrolled in education, with school uniforms and all the learning equipment they need.

Delivering food security – ensuring that all families have the means to enjoy three meals per day.

Promoting community action – establishing community-based self-help groups with carers, in the hope that participation will improve their confidence and help mobilise communities to demand their rights.

Making time to play – holding sports days and helping organise other recreation activities for orphan families.

£30 - Can support 1 orphan & family for a whole month

£90 - Can support 1 orphan & family for three months

£360 - Can support 1 orphan & family for a whole year!

£1440 - Can lift an orphan & family out of poverty within 4 years!
