You Can Change Everything for Orphans of the Ummah

In Sudan today, a child is orphaned almost every hour. More than 39,000 children have lost one or both parents, and behind every number is a shattered world. These are not statistics; they are sons and daughters who once slept in the arms of mothers and fathers who are now gone. They wake to silence where there should be love, to hunger where there should be comfort. Many of these orphans now sleep in tents or the ruins of their former homes. Older siblings cradle younger ones, trying to be strong when they are still children themselves. In shelters across Gaza, aid teams report children whispering in their sleep, calling for their parents, crying quietly so no one hears. They have been thrust into a world without protection, left to navigate loss, fear, and survival on their own. The situation grows more desperate by the day. Clean water is running out, food is scarce and medical care is collapsing. Every passing moment without help means another child goes hungry, another grows sick, another loses hope. Humanitarian workers say the pain is overwhelming and yet, amidst this devastation, there remains a flicker of faith: that someone, somewhere, will care. The Prophet ﷺ said, “The best house among the Muslims is one where an orphan is treated well.” This is our chance to live that mercy. At MATW, we are on the ground in Gaza, delivering Orphan Relief Bundles: a warm meal, clean water, and a small comfort gift to remind a child that kindness still exists in this world. These bundles are lifelines, symbols of care in a place where children have lost all sense of safety. When you give, you’re not just sending food or water. You’re sending a message: You are not forgotten. Right now, these children need more than sympathy. They need action. The difference between despair and survival could be your mercy today. A single donation can feed an orphan who hasn’t eaten all day. It can clothe a child sleeping under the open sky. It can remind them that compassion still lives in this world. Your Zakat and Sadaqah can be the difference between despair and survival for these children. You can stand in the place of a mother, a father, a protector. Every moment matters. Every act of mercy counts. Give now. Turn your compassion into action — and your action into a child’s survival. Donate Now — 100% Reaches Them YOU + MATW’s Life-Saving Response For two years, MATW has been delivering daily essentials across Gaza. Our teams are among the few still operating inside, distributing food, water, formula and aid to those who have lost everything. We are now prioritising orphaned children, ensuring that they receive hot meals, clean water, warm blankets and emergency essentials. Our ground teams have been cooking and distributing 100,000 meals every weekend, with a portion now dedicated exclusively to orphaned children and their carers. Alongside this, we are preparing Orphan Relief Bundles containing a hot meal, one litre of clean water and a gift to help give them comfort especially after they’ve lost everything. We’re also working round the clock to reach mothers with newborns and infants to supply urgent infant formula, baby milk and hygiene essentials. Your Zakat and Sadaqah could be the difference between life and death for an orphaned child who has lost everything and everyone in Gaza. We urgently need your help to reach as many orphaned children as possible.
