We consider children who have lost a father or both parents as orphans. The loss of one or both parents as a result of war, illness, or natural disaster is a traumatic and harsh reality for millions of children worldwide. Through our Orphan Sponsorship Program, All India Muslim Youth Majlis goal is to provide care and assistance to those children who have lost their parents’ love and support, allowing them to thrive and receive an education. Children are the most vulnerable members of society who need consistent and comprehensive care and support to grow and prosper. All India Muslim Youth Majlis Orphan/Orphanage Sponsorship Program provides orphaned children with hope, love and prospects for the future.

Sponsoring an orphan gives you the chance to make a huge and often life-changing difference in the life of a child. Your sponsorship provides for their basic physical needs such as food, shelter and clothing, and it can also provide critical medical care. But your sponsorship is important in another way as well. It shows your child that someone in the world cares enough about him or her to sponsor them. For an orphan who has never had the benefit of a loving family, or in too many cases, any relationship with someone who cares about them personally, your sponsorship in and of itself can be a life changing relationship.
We try our best to match sponsors with a particular child and establish some type of communication link between the child and the sponsor. However, for a variety of reasons this is not always possible. Language barriers are one reason. The sponsor and the child often speak different languages. Also, children transfer between orphanages and we lose contact with them ourselves, In many cases, they can be placed back with extended family members fairly quickly, are taken into foster care or they are actually adopted. All of these options are better for the child than remaining in an orphanage. You can be assured, however, that every child you sponsor is deserving and very grateful for your support. And even if we cannot match you with a particular child, we let you know periodically how much good your generosity is doing for these children.

The donor receives annual reports which include the orphan’s photo along with his or her health and education progress.

An orphanage is a cost-effective method of supporting several orphans at once. In sponsoring the establishment and/or maintenance of a All India Muslim Youth Mujlis run orphanage, donors can ensure sustainable and comprehensive orphan- care.
Their education is particularly important to AIMYM because on leaving the orphanage they will find better paid employment, in order to support themselves or their siblings. Teaching them languages, basic computer skills etc along with the national curriculum of the country, will dramatically increase their chances of finding work. These children will be taken out of the downward cycle of poverty, by being in the orphanage and they will be protected from being exploited by others.
The AIMYM Orphanage will fully cater for at least 24 children at any one time, who have lost one or both of their parents, and especially those most vulnerable.
