Orphan & Widow Sponsorship
Supporting orphans and widows through financial aid, education, and welfare programs to restore dignity and stability.
Each sponsored child has a profile with guardian history, health, school grades and photos for their sponsor.
Each sponsored child has a profile with guardian history, health, school grades and photos for their sponsor. In October 2026 we delivered cash support to 400 orphan students in Somalia.
In Somalia, this programme is delivered by our Somalia Country Office with field teams in Mogadishu, Baydhabo, Las Anod, working alongside community committees and local leaders in Banadir, Bay, Lower Shabelle.
Accountable by design. Every beneficiary is registered and verified, and every distribution is logged with photos and GPS so that donors can trace their gift from pledge to delivery.
