Reimagine Orphan Sponsorship
At Zakat Foundation of America, we consider any child without a parent or a child who is utterly vulnerable and defenseless, with incapacitated or missing parents, to be an orphan. This type of loss is a traumatic reality for millions of children worldwide.
During Ramadan, we are reminded that true faith shines through acts of compassion and generosity. Give an orphaned child the gift of life, hope, and opportunity; your support helps them thrive, not just survive.

What’s Included in Sponsoring a Child
- A Personal Connection
Your sponsorship creates a one-to-one relationship with a child in need. You’ll know that your dedicated support is directly transforming their life — providing food, education, hygiene, and hope for a brighter tomorrow. - Bio & Photo of Your Orphan
While we prioritize the privacy of our children, once you submit your sponsorship, Zakat Foundation of America will send you a bio and photo of your sponsored child within 7 business days. This helps you connect while ensuring that all orphans are treated with equal care and respect. - Annual Updates
Our field representatives keep you informed about your child’s progress throughout the year. You’ll see how your gift nourishes, educates, and protects your orphan — and most importantly, how it restores their confidence, security, and dreams. - The Promise of a Brighter Future
Your sponsorship isn’t just aid; it’s life-changing. With your ongoing support, vulnerable children gain the chance to thrive, pursue their dreams, and step into a future filled with hope and dignity. Together, we can make every child’s potential a reality.
