Give hope, protect futures.
Across many countries, countless children have lost parents, security, or both. Being an orphan doesn’t just mean lacking a family support system — it often means being deprived of the basic essentials: food, education, shelter, health care, dignity.
In partnership with MAA International, the NZ Zakat Foundation is proud to support a General Orphan Aid Fund — enabling you to provide life-changing support to orphaned children around the world without committing to a long-term sponsorship. Your donation makes a difference where it’s most required, regardless of the child’s location or program structure.
What We Support
Your Zakat and Sadaqah help fund:
- Nutritious meals so no child goes hungry
- School fees, books and learning materials so children can dream and act
- Medical and health care to protect vulnerable young lives
- Clothing, safe shelter and essential items so children live with dignity
- Social, emotional and community-care support so children can heal and thrive
Why This Matters
Caring for orphans is a cornerstone of Islamic ethics. The Prophet ﷺ said:
“I and the one who cares for an orphan will be together like this in Paradise.”
By supporting orphans generally – not bound by long-term contracts – you channel mercy and compassion where it is most immediately needed and maintain flexibility for urgent, changing needs.
Your donation isn’t just aid — it’s a message to a child: you are seen, you are valued, you have a future.
How It Works
- Donations can be one-off or recurring, and any amount is welcome.
- We partner with MAA International’s established networks across Africa, Asia and the Middle East, ensuring funds reach trusted programmes.
- All giving is aligned with Zakat eligibility and Sadaqah principles, with accountability, transparency and respect for the children and communities served.
- Impact reports and updates help you see how your generosity becomes meaningful change.
