Join Our Little Rahmah Sponsorship Programme

& give a needy/orphan child a brighter future for just £40 a month

 

With an estimated 150+ million orphans worldwide (UNICEF), millions of children could benefit hugely from having someone support them - an orphan sponsor. Orphans and needy children living in conflict areas or in refugee families face daily challenges that even adults would struggle with. Along with the indescribable loss of one or both of their parents, orphans face the risk of financial insecurity, emotional well-being concerns and lack of nutritious meals/access to education. Global Rahmah Foundation looks after needy/orphaned children living through some of the world's worst humanitarian crises. We want to help provide these children with the love, care and resources they deserve. And with your help, we can. Give sadaqah and sponsor an orphan or vulnerable child in need with GRF today, helping provide a bright, beautiful future.

Become an Orphan Sponsor Today

Children experience conflict or natural disasters at no fault of their own, with many too young to even understand what is happening around them. For just £40 a month per orphan, you can provide a child with essential support, resources and hope. Many orphans do not get to experience the same opportunities that other children do. But your support changes this, letting them have a glimmer of childhood that otherwise seemed like an impossible dream.

By joining our orphan sponsorship programme, you are helping equip a child to open doors to a wave of new opportunities. Sponsorship money covers essentials such as nutritious food provisions, medical care and quality education support/school fees, helping to build the foundation for a brighter, more secure future.

Sponsor an Orphan FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions about our Child Sponsorship Programme

How much does it cost to sponsor an orphan?

You can sponsor an orphan or needy child for just £40 a month with GRF, which breaks down to a little over a pound a day. A pound a day seems like nothing for us, but for needy children at risk of exploitation or child labour, it can improve conditions and help create a brighter tomorrow.

How do funds reach children?

Funds are given to the child's guardian, who spends them on the child as needed. Funds may be spent on food assistance, education, clothing, medical care, clean drinking water, sanitation or anything else that the child needs.

Can I send my sponsored child letters?

Yes, you can send your sponsored child a letter once a year. All donors receive a pack annually,which includes space to write a letter for the child.

Can I send gifts to my sponsored child?

Unfortunately, we cannot send gifts to children due to logistical concerns. Instead, you have the option of contributing towards Eid gifts or special projects like back to school kits or clean water systems. These benefit entire families and society, reaching numerous beneficiaries.

How often will I hear from my sponsored child?

You will hear from them every year. All donors receive a pack annually, which contains details about the child and a note from the child.

Can I choose which child to sponsor?

Yes. If you would like to specify which child to sponsor, you can call us on 0161 302 7888 and speak to a member of our team. You can specify countries, gender and age when speaking to our team.

Is my sponsorship eligible for Gift Aid?

Yes. All UK donations are eligible for gift aid, as long as the donor is a UK taxpayer and the charity is registered to the gift aid scheme, like GRF. If you claim gift aid, it will also apply to any future donations made with the charity, unless you inform them otherwise.

What happens if my sponsored child's family situation changes?

We recognise that sometimes circumstances change. In this instance, your sponsorship funds will be re-allocated to another child in need, ensuring your support continues to make a difference on a long-term basis. If this happens, we will contact you to inform you.

What is the aim of the sponsorship programme?

The aim is to provide orphans and needy children around the world with the love, care and resources they need. Many have lost their father or both parents and your support helps restore a sense of family. Funds cover the essentials that every child needs, while also giving them the encouragement and ability to dream of a brighter future.
