Your sponsorship can make a lasting difference to the life of an orphaned child currently facing poverty in Iraq, Afghanistan, or Ghana.
Through expert-led research, we have determined the amount needed to lift an orphaned child above the poverty line. This means that your sponsorship provides essential monthly financial aid that allows the guardian of the orphaned child to address their essential needs.
Our comprehensive care system provides sponsored children with access to additional services such as medical care, mental health support, education, housing assistance, and more.
You can choose to sponsor a child in Iraq, Afghanistan, or Ghana.
As soon as you become a sponsor, you will receive a profile of the child you have been matched with, which includes their name, age, and location.
Mothers (or guardians) of your sponsored child will then receive their monthly stipends by visiting the Al-Ayn office on designated dates each month.
The guardian uses the monthly sponsorship payment to pay for the child’s food, clothing, medication, school fees, and any other needs the child may have.
Our financial aid initiative helps alleviate economic hardships, providing essential resources to meet basic needs and support the children’s education and overall welfare. Through these efforts, we strive to create a nurturing environment where orphaned children can thrive.
Sponsored children also gain access to the following comprehensive care and services:
Our food support programmes aim to combat hunger and malnutrition, providing essential nourishment for the children’s growth and development.
We prioritise housing stability, offering safe and secure living arrangements to ensure the well-being of orphaned children and their families.
We ensure that orphaned children and families registered with Al-Ayn receive medical attention as needed.
We address the needs of orphaned children in Iraq requiring specialised interventions, ensuring comprehensive support for their mental health needs.

Al-Ayn is dedicated to providing orphaned children and young adults with the resources and support they need to thrive academically.
“Struggling through difficult circumstances made me miss out on school, but i didn’t let that define my future. I enrolled in a pastry course at Al-Ayn’s Luminous Star centre, to learn how to cook and make sweets. I continued to develop my skills, and I landed, a job at the very institution where I trained. Now, I’m determined to take my career to the next level, and open my own pasty shop, God-willing.”
