Our Gambia orphan sponsorship programme provides life-changing support to vulnerable children who have lost one or both parents. Orphan sponsorship is a powerful way to restore dignity and transform futures through consistent monthly giving—following the Sunnah of caring for the fatherless and fulfilling Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing charity). Your donation ensures continuous care for every orphan in our programme, rather than focusing on just a few individuals. When you donate, a portion of your contribution directly aids the specific orphan you choose to support, providing them with essential needs and opportunities for a brighter future. £30 per month covers food, shelter, clothing and education—less than £1 per day to transform a child's life. In addition, your donation becomes part of our collective orphan sponsorship fund, which supports all the orphans under our care. This approach guarantees that no child is left behind, regardless of changes in individual sponsorships. You'll receive regular updates showing exactly how your support is making a difference. Every orphan sponsorship donation is tracked from start to completion, ensuring full transparency and accountability in line with Islamic giving principles.

      While you can sponsor more than one child, sponsoring an entire school is not possible as not all students may be eligible for sponsorship. However, if you are interested in supporting a class, school, or project, we can consider this on a case-by-case basis.
      When donating via our orphan sponsorship programme, your donation goes into a collective fund that helps all orphans within the selected group. This pooled model ensures that your contribution reaches your sponsored orphan while also supporting others in the programme. Why this approach? It guarantees continuous support for every child, ensuring no orphan is left behind if an individual sponsorship ends. This sustainable model has proven more effective than single-child sponsorships, as it provides stable, long-term care for all children in our Gambia orphan sponsorship programme. Your contribution makes a measurable impact on the lives of all children in the group, providing food, education, healthcare and clothing they need to thrive.
      Supervised visits can be arranged with approval from the GHH office, the child, and their guardian. Visits are not permitted at the orphan’s home to comply with our safeguarding policy. Instead, meetings will take place at the local GHH office. For safety reasons, personal information such as the child’s address or telephone number will not be disclosed.

      Besides sponsorship, you can support orphans through one-time donations, fundraising events, and volunteering your time. Your contributions help fund essential services and projects that improve the lives of vulnerable children and their communities. For more information, please visit our website or contact us directly.
