Orphaned children are among the most vulnerable members of society. Without one or both parents, children in many parts of the world are left without their basic needs of shelter, food, education and care being met.
Donate to this Waqf and help transform the life of children who have had the most difficult start in life. Your support will mean they have a better chance of growing up with the safety and stability they need to achieve their future potential.
There are around 140 million orphaned children today, and many face an uncertain future. While some are cared for by relatives, others end up in orphanages, social care, or roaming the streets. In countries without a welfare system, children can be left alone as a result of conflict, disasters, poverty, disease, and even social stigma.
Your donation to Waqf for orphans can make a life-changing difference to the life of one or more children through our sponsorship programme. By helping to meet their basic needs including shelter, education, food, clothing and access to healthcare you can help give them the start in life that every child deserves. Your support will also help protect them from risks such as trafficking, abuse, child labour and early marriage.

Throughout history, Muslims have placed great emphasis on orphan endowment, dedicating specific groups in society, including orphans, to the care of the Waqf.
Some Waqfs historically established specifically for orphans include:
The orphans endowment allows you to direct your donations towards caring for orphans by sponsoring them on a monthly or lifetime basis.
As a Waqf for orphans donor you can choose to support our projects dedicated to orphans through a monthly or annual sponsorship.
This Waqf aims to support orphaned children and provide them with the necessities and services they need without relying on monthly donations that may sometimes not reach their target group due to socio-political factors like conflict or natural disasters.
Through the orphans endowment, the invested funds and revenues gained will help ensure regular streams of resources that will be dedicated to projects that care for orphans. This will help meet children’s needs including access to food, clean water, education, and social and psychological support.
When you donate shares in this Waqf, IBW invests them and directs the revenues towards many of its projects dedicated to orphan support to help meet children’s everyday needs and improve their quality of life.
Your donations to this Waqf allow IBW to provide essential services that can enhance the lives of orphans around the world, giving them the opportunity to not just survive but to thrive and meet their potential.
