What is the problem?

There are more than 153 million orphans worldwide and it’s estimated that the number grows by 5,700 children EVERY DAY! These vulnerable children often grow up in poverty, without access to education, healthcare, food, or proper clothing. They’re missing out on a happy childhood, while the chance for a successful future slips away for them. This is where your small contributions can make a Big Difference.

What is Penny Appeal Canada doing for Orphans?

The Orphan Kind program changes a child’s life for the better, forever. This beautiful form of Sadaqah Jariyah helps provide an orphaned boy or girl with nutritious meals, clothes, healthcare, an education, and much more. The focus of Penny Appeal Canada’s Orphan Kind program is on their education. Only through education will the cycle of poverty break. Your support will turn vulnerability into strength, giving a child the tools they need to succeed in the future.The Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him) was an orphan, losing both his father and mother at a young age. He (Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him) said, “I and the person who looks after an orphan and provides for him, will be in Paradise like this,” putting his index and middle fingers together. Sahih Al-Bukhari

WHY I AM DOING THIS? 

This Ramadan, I'm rallying my community to make a tangible difference for orphans in Palestine and Pakistan. My goal is a modest $500 as I've never done this before (hopefully we surpass it), but the impact can be profound. These children face challenges beyond our comprehension—growing up without the basics of care, education, food, and safety. Let's embody the true spirit of Ramadan by coming together to support these vulnerable kids. Join me in creating real change for children who need it most. Funds raised go directly to Penny Appeal's Orphan Kind program.
