Every Child Deserves a Chance to Learn

Loading donation options…

For thousands of children, orphans, and widows in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Lebanon, the back-to-school season is one of the most difficult times of the year.

Poverty, hunger, and loss leave children without food in their bellies and widowed mothers without work or dignity. We aim to restore that.

Join a global Shia community bringing hope and a dignity to young learners and widows in honour of the Holy Family (as).
