Islamic Relief Celebrates Orphans Day with Palestinian

Where do all the donations related to the orphan campaign go?

Where are the donations that we have been contributed to help those in need, always becoming a common question mark that plays in every donors’ mind right?

In Islamic Relief, we are honorably to share every process or any intervention that have been done to help vulnerable people with our donors through our website and social media.

Apart from the individual sponsorship, we are also helping in assistance covering educational purposes, healthcare, food, and non-food items (NFI), shelter, and psychological support. Besides, Islamic Relief also conducts some group activities with orphans.

One of the activities that we have conducted in a mass is a celebration of Orphan Day with Palestinians in 2018 to entertain more than 150 children with the theme of, “My Day: Happy day”.

They were celebrating in a very lively ceremony filled with games, horse riding, and other various events include performances from the orphans itself as a presentation for the audiences. 

Those children also receive a gift and hamper. Their smiles, laughter, and happiness are incredibly reflected on their pretty faces because they rarely get the opportunity to participate on such occasions in the time being.
