ORPHAN FUND
Why should I choose Crisis Aids Orphan Fund?
Every child is sponsored for the duration of their education. Crisis Aid will not stop sponsoring the child after one month or one year just because someone has stopped sponsoring an Orphan, this is what makes our Orphan Fund Program unique.
Crisis Aids Orphan Fund guarantees every single child we sponsor will not have to worry about their education stopping because the donations have stopped. They will continue to be educated until they leave school.
What is the cost per Orphan?
The current cost is £30 per month (which equates to £360 a year).
Each Orphans Parent/Guardians family will receive 30 kg rice and 9 kg sugar delivered to their house every quarter. The Orphans also receive a small monetary allowance.
This quarterly distribution enables Crisis Aid to do spot checks and home visits to help identify the child’s living conditions.
What is the age range of the Orphans?
Sponsorship starts from the age of 4, which is the nursery going age.
Sponsorship continues until they have completed school, which is around 18 or 19 years of age.
This sponsorship cycle helps ensure the child has a successful chance to complete their full education and enables them to get a job once they have completed their studies.

Why sponsor an Orphan?
Crisis Aid believes that vulnerable children in the world’s most dangerous places deserve power over their future. Losing a loved one, especially a mum or dad, can make any child feel powerless.
When you sponsor an orphan with Crisis Aid, you are giving them more than a gift, you are giving them a chance at a better life and a brighter future. Will you join us for only £30 a month?
Which is only £1 per day!

What skills will the Orphans learn apart from Education
- Crisis Aid sponsored schools have gardens, the children are taught agriculture as part of life skills.
- The children are assigned plots to manage, where they can grow vegetables, harvest them, and take them home. This gives them a great sense of achievement, whilst learning vital life skills.
- Crisis Aid sponsored schools are in the process of setting up computer and sewing classes to further enhance life skills for the Orphans.
- Children often do not have any breakfast due to lack of food/money.
- The ones that can afford it, will buy something from a vendor at school.
- The ones that cannot afford the 25 pence, will not eat anything until late afternoon, which leads to a lack of energy, focus and concentration.
- Crisis Aid representatives have personally seen this at schools when we have visited.
- Monetary allowances allow the parent/guardian to purchase a variety of foods for the sponsored child and the quarterly rice and sugar distribution in turn helps and sustains siblings and the rest of the family.
- Physical distribution ensures the household can receive a fixed amount of rice and sugar which they can use immediately.
- The parent’s aspirations of getting their children through an Islamic/Qur’an education, means having to spend scarce funds on school fees.
- Often children are removed from schools as the parent/guardian cannot keep up with the payments, meaning their Islamic Education will cease.
- For children in schools, if parents can budget for school fees, they then have the additional burden of paying for uniforms, stationary, books and a school bag.
- School fees are paid ensuring the child can continue at school.
- The monetary allowance allows the parent/guardian to purchase stationary, books, and a bag for the year. It also allows the parent/guardian to purchase at least two sets of uniforms for the academic year.
- Children take great pride in being able to wear uniforms at school, which contributes to them having a positive moral.
Help An Orphan in Need
Your donation will be added to our Orphan Fund. The Orphan Fund provides support and assistance on a long term basis.
We do not operate an individual orphan sponsorship program. What happens if a monthly sponsorship donation stops, should the child have to go without? The Orphan Fund prevents this by providing long term care and protection for orphans.
