As we approach the sacred month of Muharram, we are reminded of the profound lessons of perseverance and sacrifice embedded in Islamic history.
This Muharram we invite you to support our campaign, “Verily, with Hardship Comes Ease.” Our campaign takes its name from Surah 94:5 of the Holy Quran. This verse underpins our mission to provide hope and comfort to orphaned children who have endured hardships and difficulties after losing one or both of their parents.
Our campaign is designed to bring comfort, support and relief to orphaned children and their families across Iraq, Afghanistan, and Ghana.
Why Muharram is a time for giving
Muharram holds a special place in the hearts of millions, marking the event of Karbala, where Imam Husain (AS) and his family made the ultimate sacrifice.
Ashura is also a time that led many young children to become orphaned. As we remember the orphaned children from Imam Husain’s (AS) family, we turn our attention to present-day orphaned children who are reeling from war, displacement and the loss of one or both parents.
Verily, with hardship comes ease
Our campaign aims to harness the collective spirit of Muharram to provide essential aid to those in dire need. The funds raised during this period will help crucial support to families torn by loss and instability.

Private sponsorships
We are pleased to announce our private sponsorship provisions have been extended from Iraq to Afghanistan and Ghana.
A monthly $105 or yearly $1260 sponsorship (per orphaned child) helps us fulfil their basic needs and can help facilitate access to:
We assess an orphaned child and their family to determine their needs. This needs assessment is carried out every six months to ensure the aid provided is fit for purpose.
A reassessment may find that a child needs more, less or no aid at all–the latter thanks to your monthly contributions that pave a child’s way to self-sustainability.
As a result, every penny of the monthly stipend is used responsibly.
