Every Eid gift you donate brings a moment of happiness to a child’s life, but you can make a more lasting difference through orphan sponsorship.

In 2023, Zamzam Foundation supported 11,502 orphaned children, helping them build brighter futures. 

When you sponsor an orphan in Somalia with a regular monthly donation of £50, you give that child the opportunity to go to school, receive medical care, and ensure that their guardian can meet their basic needs. By providing consistent support, you help break the cycle of poverty and empower children to build a better future.

Orphans are mentioned 23 times in the Qur’an, emphasizing our responsibility to care for those in need. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
“I and the one who cares for an orphan will be in Paradise like this” — and he pointed with his two fingers, indicating closeness.
(Sahih al-Bukhari)

According to the Somali Health and Demographic Survey (2020), 32% of households care for foster or orphaned children. In 2023, we supported 532 new orphans and enrolled 75 orphaned children in school, giving them hope.

Sponsor an orphan today and transform a life. By sponsoring a Somali orphan through Zamzam UK, you’ll help a child receive the support they need to thrive despite the harsh realities they face.

Eid al-Fitr is one of the most significant holidays in the Islamic calendar, marking the end of Ramadan. It’s a time of celebration, giving, and joy for Muslim families around the world. 

For many children in Somalia, what should be a joyous time can also be a reminder of the hardships they face. Many live in poverty, displaced by conflict or natural disasters, with little to no access to basic needs, let alone festive celebrations.

For a child in a poor family, Eid might remind them of what they do not have. They may not receive new clothes, toys, or even a special meal, which makes it difficult for them to fully participate in the collective joy of the holiday.

Your generosity can help bring the joy of Eid to a child in need. By donating, you can directly support children in impoverished families, ensuring they have something special to look forward to this Eid. 

Last year, Zamzam teams in Somalia provided new clothes as Eid gifts to 1,350 children in Somalia, brightening their day and filling their hearts with hope.

For just £20, you can give an Eid gift that will create a lasting memory and bring a world of happiness to a Somali child in need. Donate today here on our website, and together, we can make this Eid unforgettable for children who deserve to feel special.
