How Child Sponsorship Works
Child sponsorship connects you directly with a child from one of the most challenging environments on the planet. Become a sponsor and form a direct, meaningful bond with a child who represents their community’s hopes and struggles. By choosing to sponsor, you’re not just helping an individual child; you’re uplifting entire communities. Your sponsorship fuels educational programs, empowerment initiatives, and protective measures for all children within the community. While every child’s path is distinct, your commitment contributes to sustainable, far-reaching change, enhancing lives within the community and extending its positive effects beyond.
Once your sponsorship begins, a welcome kit will be promptly sent to you, detailing your sponsored child’s life and their surroundings. Expect this package within four to seven days after registration, complete with guidelines for initiating correspondence to help you connect immediately. By sponsoring a child, you become a pivotal force for positive change across entire communities, starting a powerful cycle of development and safety. Engage directly through letters, drawings, and photos, gaining a deep understanding of the child’s everyday experiences and challenges. Each message you send prompts a heartfelt response, establishing a cycle of communication. Additionally, you will receive yearly updates showcasing the progress and positive transformations within the child’s community, fueled by local efforts and your financial support.
Start a journey of kindness by sponsoring a child for just 82c a day. This small amount can create big changes, bringing hope and assistance to a needy child. Witness the powerful impact of your generosity as both your sponsored child and their community thrive, thanks to your commitment. If you are not ready for long term commitment, please consider a one-time donation to support children outside our sponsorship program, affected by war, conflict, and natural disasters. These vulnerable children, often without parents or caregivers, urgently need your help to find safety, stability, and a path to recovery. Your contribution can make a significant difference in their lives.
BY THE NUMBERS
The Significance of Child Sponsorship
1/4
Involved in Child Labor
Our orphan sponsorship program impacts the lives of children in 24 different countries, uniting a tapestry of races and beliefs under one common goal. In the poorest corners of the globe, approximately one in every four children is trapped in child labor. But you possess the power to change this grim reality for at least one child. By becoming a sponsor, you can replace their tools of labor with educational books, restoring the joy and innocence of childhood.

Million Go to School Hungry
75% of globally undernourished children reside in the developing regions where we work, offering you the chance to select a child and prevent hunger and malnutrition, which contribute to nearly half of all deaths in children under five. Annually, malnutrition leads to the needless loss of 3 million young lives.

Is a War Child
In a world where one in four children is raised amidst conflict or disaster, the urgency for support is unparalleled. Our orphan sponsorship program, alongside our emergency appeals, reaches out to these vulnerable children, echoing their pleas for assistance. Together, we have the power to change a narrative of solitude into one of hope and belonging.
OUR COMMITMENT
What happens when you sponsor a child ?
By sponsoring an orphan, you directly contribute to their education and personal development, laying the groundwork for a future where they thrive beyond the confines of poverty and ensure your sponsored child has the tools to learn and grow.
Orphan sponsorship directly supports individual children with nutrition and care, ensuring they and their caretakers have the resources for a healthy life. This focused aid of feeding orphans combats malnutrition, transforming the wellbeing of each sponsored child.
Every 3 seconds, a girl is forced into child marriage. With your help, we protect vulnerable children from abuse and exploitation, including the horrors of child marriage. Your support provides safety, security, and hope for a brighter future for these young lives.
Every 60 seconds, a child's life is lost due to dirty water. Through orphan sponsorship, we build boreholes and set up clean water facilities, eliminating the deadly choice between dirty water and no water. Clean water means healthier, school-attending children and relieved mothers.
Focused on providing impoverished children with necessary healthcare and immunizations, your sponsorship also helps in equipping families in vulnerable situations to shield their children from diseases such as coronavirus, polio, dengue, and malaria.
Our approach to community development ensures that communities and their children can sustain fulfilling lives independently. By sponsoring a child in need, you help cultivate the educators, healthcare workers, and leaders of tomorrow. A cycle of hope continues.

Build a Heartfelt Connection: Embark on a fulfilling path with United Muslims by connecting with a child enduring difficult circumstances. Our initiative offers you a unique opportunity to observe the transformative journey from the perspective of the child you support. The essence of sponsorship, as understood from decades of experience, lies in uplifting an individual from poverty, instilling hope, and enabling them to contribute positively to their community. This connection is not just about financial support; it’s about nurturing a relationship that brings light and warmth to a young, waiting heart. Your sponsored child, an innocent soul cast into challenging circumstances, eagerly awaits the kindness and guidance that only you can provide.
The Comprehensive Impact of Your Support: With Child Sponsorship, your contributions transcend beyond individual assistance; they catalyze the prosperity of entire communities.

Transforming Communities Together: United Muslims collaborates closely with local leaders, families, and communities, targeting the root causes of poverty. We prioritize the most vulnerable children, those facing dire poverty, exploitation, and abuse. By developing a comprehensive plan with your support, we aim to transform communities into safe havens where children are nurtured and protected for the long haul, ensuring a sustainable future free from poverty.
A Vision of Self-Sustenance: Your sponsorship equips children and their communities with essential tools for a better future: clean water, quality education, adequate healthcare, nutritious food, and enhanced job opportunities for widows and caretakers. This holistic approach ensures that every child, including your sponsored one, benefits from community-wide solutions such as water pumps, improved classroom conditions, and comprehensive healthcare, fostering an environment where they can thrive, express themselves, and participate actively in their community’s transformation.
“Whoever relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, Allah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever helps ease one in difficulty, Allah will make it easy for him in this world and the Hereafter. Whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and the Hereafter. Allah helps the servant as long as he helps his brother.” (Sahih Muslim 2699)
Protecting the Future: Through regular check-ins and support, United Muslims ensures the well-being and progress of every sponsored child. We strive to protect them from abuse, neglect, and exploitation, empowering them to become confident, self-expressive individuals who can influence their community’s future. Your messages, photos, and letters are translated and delivered by hand, creating a strong, personal connection that encourages their growth and self-confidence.
