Sponsor an Orphan from Turkey or Syria

Thousands of children orphaned following a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Southern Turkey and Northern Syria

In the aftermath of the greatest disaster to hit this year, children continue to pay the heaviest price.

Every orphan affected by the earthquake is a child deprived of their basic rights and protection, subject to vulnerability, loss, and destruction. Their futures look unsafe, uncertain and bleak.

But YOU have the power to change this.

By sponsoring an orphan from Turkey or Syria, you can help save and transform the lives of vulnerable children in this disaster zone. Your support can help them recover and restore their stolen childhoods.

For $90/month, bring hope to an orphan in Turkey and Syria, and answer their prayers in the darkest time of their lives.

Your Sponsorship can provide

• Nutritious Food
• Clean Water
• Quality Healthcare
• Safe Shelter
• Education Support
• Psychosocial Support

Sponsor an orphan struggling to survive in the worst conditions and truly change their life for the better.

“The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: ‘I and the one who looks after an orphan will be like this in Paradise,’ showing his middle and index fingers and separating them.” (Bukhari)

* Due to the ongoing emergency appeal, please be aware that our orphan matching process will take longer than the average processing time. Once you sign up to sponsor an orphan, we will be in touch to keep you updated!

Islamic Relief’s long-standing Orphan Sponsorship Program for Syria & Turkey

Islamic Relief has been supporting orphans in Turkey and from Syria for years now. We are well experienced in the safeguarding of children and ensuring they receive the best chance at a bright future.

By providing access to nutritional services, health care, water solutions, education and family livelihood support, as well as striving to tackle critical issues, including gender-based violence, child labour and climate change that affect local communities and, in particular young girls, we’re not only transforming futures – we’re saving lives.

Supporting children’s long-term needs

At Islamic Relief, we don’t believe in simply providing one-off care to support children and orphans in need. We instead invest in children’s long-term futures, supporting their families, carers and local communities to provide long-lasting, safe, sustainable solutions to poverty and inequality.

We work to provide child-friendly safe spaces, empower communities and develop long-term solutions to poverty and critical issues such as human trafficking, child labour and child marriage.
