OrphanKind
Give them more than survival. Give them a future.
Your kindness can change a life forever and keep an orphan out of harm’s way. Right now, as you read this, over 153 million orphans are struggling to survive. Having lost one or both parents to war, disease, poverty, or disaster, these children have had their innocence stolen and their childhoods replaced with unimaginable pain.
In places like Gaza, Syria, and Afghanistan, where death and devastation have shattered the hearts and souls of millions of families, vulnerable children are left to pay the price – abandoned, scared, and alone.
At Penny Appeal, we refuse to let them face this hardship alone. For over 15 years, with the support of our generous donors, we’ve been providing orphans with care, stability, and protection. To date, we’ve facilitated over 121,000 orphan sponsorships, ensuring children receive nutritious meals, warm clothing, healthcare, and an education to build a brighter future – Insha’Allah.
Zaria's Story
After a sudden heart attack killed their father instantly, life became even more challenging for sisters Zaria and Samra who were already feeling the effects of being poor at just 6 years old.
Incredible donors like you sponsored the two sisters, paying for their education – Alhamdulillah! After their brother was forced to abandon his academic studies to support the family, Zaria and Samra were blessed with the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty once and for all. They were each provided with a safe play to stay, school uniforms, stationary, textbooks and hygiene items to ensure they have everything they need for their studies.
“We feel a deep sense of honour and gratitude for the support in our education and other financial assistance”
You too can transform a child’s life just like Zaria and Samra’s.
Your donation can completely fund a vulnerable child’s education who otherwise may never have had the opportunity to study.
Your kindness can ensure an orphan child has nutritious meals to fuel their growth every single day.
With an orphan sponsorship, you can make sure that a child who formerly had nothing, now has new clothes, toys, and all the equipment they need for their education and activities.
Finally, your generosity can give the gift of healthcare and medical support to an orphan to ensure they stay fit and healthy.
What did the prophet say about orphans?
As Muslims, we have a duty to care for orphans, showing them compassion and kindness is said to be one of the most blessed ways to honour Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى). The Holy Qur’an couldn’t be clearer about how we should treat the vulnerable children of the world.
The Prophet (ﷺ) was reported to have said:
“The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this,” and he held his two fingers together to illustrate.
How Your Sponsorship Works
Our Orphan Kind programme is changing for the better.
From now on, your sponsorship will be deeply personal supporting one specific orphaned child and transforming their life in a meaningful, lasting way. For just £15 a month, you’ll join hands with seven other compassionate donors to give that child the love, care, and dignity they deserve. Together, your shared support provides not only material comfort but also spiritual blessings that ripple far beyond this life.
Imagine entering the highest station of Paradise alongside your fellow sponsors and the child whose life you changed- SubhanAllah, what a beautiful dream to build your legacy of good deeds upon!
The Power of OrphanKind
Supporting Orphans Where They Belong – At Home
Penny Appeal is phasing out residential care, choosing instead to support orphaned children directly within their own homes with trusted family members wherever it is safe and suitable. This approach is aligned with global best practice and ensures children remain rooted in their communities, surrounded by love, dignity, and familiarity.
After all, when Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) created the womb (Rahm) and asked what it desired, the Rahm replied that family ties should never be broken.
"The word 'ar-rahm (womb) derives its name from Ar-Rahman (i.e., one of the names of Allah) and Allah said: 'I will keep good relation with the one who will keep good relation with you, (womb, i.e. kith and kin) and sever the relation with him who will sever the relation with you, (womb, i.e. kith and kin).’" (Sahih al-Bukhari)
