153 million orphans worldwide are living life with the fear and uncertainty for the future. Every day, nearly 6,000 children become orphans worldwide. An orphan is a child under the age of 18 who has lost one or both parents, leaving them vulnerable, isolated, and at risk of dropping out of school, facing poverty, and struggling to survive without proper care, protection, or support.
Al Mustafa Canada understands the pain and hardship these children face and runs a dedicated orphan sponsorship program to restore hope in their lives. Through our sponsorship program, we provide education, nutritious food, warm clothing, and safe accommodation to ensure orphaned children receive the care, stability, and opportunities they deserve.

Last year alone, more than 9,000 orphaned children were supported across the Al Mustafa Global family. Our orphan sponsorship program serves vulnerable children in different countries of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, including Pakistan, India, Palestine, Malawi, Bangladesh, Jordan, and Syria.
Our orphan sponsorship program creates lasting impact by helping orphaned children stay in school, access quality healthcare, receive proper nutrition, and have their basic needs met. Alongside education support, school supplies, medical care, and emotional support, we build safe and empowering environments where children can experience security, stability, and hope.
When you sponsor an orphan, you don't just change their immediate world - you change their future. By ensuring education, healthcare, and nutritious meals, you help raise strong, resilient children who can break the cycle of poverty and uplift families and communities for generations.
Al Mustafa Canada’s orphan sponsorship program follows a simple, transparent, and needs-based process designed to deliver maximum impact for vulnerable children.
1. Affordable Monthly Sponsorship
You can sponsor an orphan from C$50 per month (C$600 per year per child). This small monthly commitment helps ensure a child can:
Stay in school instead of entering child labour
Receive nutritious meals instead of facing hunger
Experience care, stability, and protection instead of isolation
2. Child Allocation Based on Need
Your orphan sponsorship is carefully assigned based on urgency and vulnerability — never at random. Priority is given to:
Children who have lost one or both parents
Children living in severe poverty
At-risk children facing hunger, school drop-out, or child labour
Refugee children and those affected by war and conflict, including Gaza
This ensures your donation reaches the most vulnerable children as quickly as possible.
Over time, you will receive regular updates about your sponsored child. We will send you a report each year with their details and their progress. We'll share information on their health, education and wellbeing. In some cases, children may write letters too, where this is safe and culturally appropriate.
We hope this helps you see how your generosity is making a real difference. This isn't just any donation. You'll be changing the life of a vulnerable child and making a lasting impact.
Your orphan sponsorship includes so many different things that allow the holistic care and support of the child. Your donation can provide:
Quality Healthcare and Medical Support
Your orphan sponsorship replaces instability with routine, fear with safety, and hopelessness with a real chance to plan for the future.
It is important to understand that orphaned children of different genders face different challenges. While loss and grief is universal, and many experiences of living under poverty are the same for all people, orphan girls often carry double the burden. They are at even more risk of abuse and forced, child and early marriage, which could have catastrophic impacts for them in the future.
For an orphan girl, the risks can include:
Al Mustafa Canada speaks openly about these risks and designs orphan projects with safety, protection, and empowerment at the centre.

In Islam, caring for an orphan is not a distant charitable act - it is a deeply personal and spiritual responsibility. The Qur’an repeatedly reminds us not to turn away the orphan, not to speak to them harshly, and not to neglect their rights. An orphan is not defined by what they lack, but by the trust Allah has placed in us to protect their dignity. When a child loses the security of a parent, they are not meant to lose love, safety, or opportunity as well. Supporting an orphan is a way of restoring what hardship has taken, and of answering Allah’s call to mercy with action.
The Prophet Muhammad (saw) himself knew the vulnerability of orphanhood. He promised that the one who sponsors an orphan will be with him in Jannah “like these two,” holding his fingers close together. This is not just a reward - it is an invitation into nearness to our beloved Prophet (saw). To care for an orphan is to draw close to the heart of the Prophet (saw) and to the pleasure of Allah. It softens our own hearts, purifies our wealth, and transforms charity into companionship. Through sponsorship, we are not simply providing food, clothing, or education - we are saying to a child, you are not alone.
