3) If the calculations show that the amount of khums due is negative as a result of sustenance debts, then the amount of the sustenance debt equivalent to the amount of khums due for the rest of the item is calculated and excluded.

Transforming Lives: Al-Ayn’s Unparalleled Sponsorship Programme in Iraq

23 April 2025

Breaking the Cycle of Poverty for Orphaned Children

In Iraq, thousands of orphaned children face immense challenges, from financial insecurity to lack of education and healthcare. At Al-Ayn Social Care Foundation, we are dedicated to changing this reality. With the support of compassionate supporters and sponsors, we provide life-changing aid to over 100,000 orphaned children and their families each month, ensuring they are not only lifted out of poverty but are given the tools to thrive.

Our sponsorship programme is carefully designed by experts to holistically support orphaned children, addressing their financial, educational, emotional, and physical needs. By becoming a sponsor, you are not just offering financial assistance – you are helping to rebuild lives and shape futures.

A Holistic Approach to Sponsorship

At Al-Ayn, we believe that true support goes beyond financial aid. Our sponsorship programme provides comprehensive care to each child, ensuring they have access to everything they need to flourish.

What Sponsorship Includes:

Monthly Financial Support – Ensuring children and their families have the resources to cover essential needs like clothing, healthcare, and school expenses.
Education and Vocational Training – Empowering children with knowledge and skills to secure a promising future.
Safe Housing and Food Support – Providing stability and nourishment for a healthy, dignified life.
Psychological Rehabilitation – Offering therapy and emotional support to help children heal from past trauma.
Medical Care & Wellbeing – Ensuring children receive necessary healthcare and medical attention.

Each aspect of this programme is designed to give children the opportunity to grow into confident, self-sufficient adults who can contribute positively to their communities.

Luminous Stars Centres: Our Most Ambitious Project To Date

Across Iraq, Al-Ayn operates 11 Luminous Stars Centres – safe havens where orphaned children and their families can access vital services. These centres provide:

Financial aid
Healthcare services
Educational Support
Vocational training
Seasonal aid
Psychological rehabilitation
Social Integration Activities

The Impact of Sponsorship

The difference sponsorship makes is transformational. With consistent support, orphaned children can:

✔️ Stay in school and pursue higher education.
✔️ Develop skills that lead to employment opportunities.
✔️ Receive essential healthcare and psychological support.
✔️ Grow up with dignity, hope, and a sense of belonging.

Haidar’s Story

One such inspiring story is that of a young beneficiary of Al-Ayn, whose life took an unexpected turn but was transformed through sponsorship.

Last year, while playing with his friend on their rooftop, Haidar accidentally touched an electric pole and suffered severe injuries. He spent a month and a half in the hospital, undergoing multiple surgeries. Despite the doctors’ efforts, they ultimately had to amputate his right arm and leg. Such a life-altering event would be devastating for anyone, let alone a child.

With the help of Al-Ayn, he now has a prosthetic leg, allowing him to regain mobility. And when he grows older, he will receive a bionic arm that will help him regain independence in ways he never thought possible. His resilience is truly remarkable: “I won’t let this stop me from pursuing my studies.” His determination is a testament to the strength that comes from knowing you are supported.

This is the impact of sponsorship – it enables children to rise above their circumstances, empowering them with the resources they need to build a secure future. Whether it’s providing medical care, education, or emotional support, sponsorship ensures that no child faces adversity alone.

How You Can Get Involved

Sponsorship is one of the most impactful ways to change a child’s life forever. With just a small monthly contribution, you can provide an orphaned child with security, education, healthcare, and hope for a brighter future.
