‘If there are broken children in the world, then it is the broken hearts of the children of Palestine.’

Islamic Help looks after more than 800 orphans in the Middle East as part of their orphan sponsorship programme. That number is growing daily.

As well as providing food, water, education, medical care and welfare for their daily needs, they have launched a very special programme – sending Palestinian refugee orphans on a blessed journey to Makkah to perform Umrah.

In early 2015, they took their first party of Palestinian
orphans from Jordan to Makkah. It was the first time they had travelled to another country.

The journey was an experience of emotion and tears, with the youngsters describing a strengthening and renewal of faith, excitement and awe as they entered the Haram and performed Tawaaf around the Kaabah. They also went to Madina to pray in the Masjid of our beloved Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him).

In January 2016, Islamic Help were able to take more than 650 Palestinian orphans on Umrah. In 2017 Islamic Help have taken another 250 Orphan boys, girls and widows to perform Umrah in January.

These blessed journeys, were the realisation of a dream for
their guardians and remaining parents. Already struggling against adversity, they could never have imagined their offspring and wards making such a journey to the heart of Islam.

I was so touched by the programme that I have decided to raise £5000 to sponsor 10 orphans to go on Umrah next year. I hope that you can support me by donating any amount that you can and by sharing this with your family and friends to help me reach my target. Collectively I know we can sponsor at least ten children for their blessed journey and perhaps once in a lifetime opportunity for them. Just remember what it will mean to them and the du'as their hearts and limbs will make for you. 

JazakAllah khair
