Uplifting Orphans Towards a Brighter Future
The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this,” and he held his two fingers together.”’ Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
Welcome to Afghan Relief’s Orphan Care Program
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) himself was an orphan and emphasized the importance of taking care of orphans. In a country where decades of conflict has left many children without parents, Afghan Relief’s Orphan Care Program aims to provide these young souls with a chance at a brighter, more stable future.
The Reality of Orphanhood in Afghanistan
**Over 2 million orphans**:
Conflict and disease have left a vast number of children without parental care.
**Lack of access to education and healthcare**:
Many orphans miss out on basic rights.
These numbers are a stark reminder of the work that needs to be done.
Why Orphan Care?
Taking care of orphans is not just a moral duty but also an Islamic obligation. Our program aligns with the Hadith, aiming to provide holistic care for orphans that goes beyond mere survival needs.
