Your sponsorship helps children grow with stability and thrive with hope, joy, and opportunity.
With support from donors like you, HCI sponsored over 5,800 children and supported more than 15,000 family members in 2025.
Your generosity provided clothing and essential items, along with monthly in-kind assistance including food, clothing, hygiene kits, and nutritional supplements, helping ease daily pressures for children and their families. The program also reached 15,000 monthly indirect beneficiaries (siblings and family members), amplifying the impact of every gift.
In Gaza, 1,000 orphaned children and 2,577 family members received critical support, alongside psychosocial activities designed to support well-being, connection, and resilience.
Sponsoring a child is a powerful way to turn compassion into consistent, life-changing support.
While many children grow up with stability and care, millions continue to face uncertainty around safety, education, and basic needs. Sponsorship helps provide the stability every child deserves, support that extends far beyond a single moment.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ reminded us of the special place held by those who care for vulnerable children:
“I and the one who sponsors an orphan will be like this in Paradise,”
and he ﷺ held his index and middle fingers together.
(Sahih al-Bukhari)
When you sponsor a child, you’re committing to consistent care and support month after month. You’re helping put food on the table, supporting their well-being, and reminding them that they are not forgotten.

We collaborate closely with our local teams on the ground to pinpoint the children who are in dire need of assistance. Our selection is based on the following criteria:
A preference is given to female children.
We prioritize orphaned children who find themselves living on the streets or in slums, are involved in child labor, and are more susceptible to exploitation, trafficking, and domestic violence.
The monthly sponsorship cost is derived from the average living expenses of a family in the specific region. Our local team on the ground meticulously ensures that the calculated minimum monthly amount is sufficient to cover a child’s daily necessities, including food, shelter, clothing, healthcare, and educational fees.
In the event that a donor opts to cease their contributions to the Child Sponsorship Program (CSP), the child in question will no longer be sponsored by that donor and will instead be made available for sponsorship by other potential donors. In the case that a new sponsor is not promptly found, our organization will strive to uphold the child’s sponsorship for a minimum of one year, utilizing our Zakat funds.
While our Child Sponsorship Program (CSP) is designed to foster a meaningful bond between the donor and the sponsored child, we must emphasize that all correspondence with the child must be facilitated through HCI. This policy is in place to uphold our commitment to child protection, ensuring the child’s privacy, safety, and security are not compromised.
Indeed, you are welcome to donate more than the mandated monthly amount. It is common for donors to extend additional monetary gifts to children, particularly during Eid celebrations.
Yes, our Child Sponsorship Program (CSP) falls within the eight permissible categories and, therefore, is eligible to receive Zakat funds.
While we place the utmost importance on the security and privacy of the children in our program, currently, we are unable to arrange visits to the child’s home due to our stringent child security protocols, which dictate that the child’s address must remain confidential. However, donors can write letters and send a scan copy to us and we will share it with the child and once we have the reply of the letter we share it with the donor. The reply may take 3-4 weeks time.
HCI is dedicated to providing sponsors with the following reports on an annual basis to keep them informed about their sponsored child’s development:
A video of the child expressing their gratitude.
Our CSP team will be in communication with you in the event that any of these reports are not available for any reason.
Upon your initial payment confirming your sponsorship, HCI will coordinate with our field team to gather the necessary details about your sponsored child. Within two weeks, you can expect to receive basic information including the child’s name, date of birth, country, and school address. Following this, within a month’s time, we will provide you with a comprehensive profile of the child, complete with their photograph and a breakdown of their financial situation.
Indeed, you have the option to donate to the Child Sponsorship Program (CSP) in general, thereby contributing to a pool of funds. These general funds are then utilized to sponsor additional children, as well as to maintain the sponsorship of children whose donors may have discontinued their donations.
While HCI recommends donors to commit to at least one year of sponsorship, there is no strict minimum requirement. Committing to a year ensures the child in question receives education for that duration, potentially allowing their family to save enough resources for the child’s education in the following year.
