From One Orphan (Mariam) to Another and their Mother.
Mariam was orphaned at birth. She often says, "I wish I had a Mum. I would be glued to her hip!"
Her life continued on a difficult path, finding herself homeless at a point.
This campaign is close to her heart.
The Importance of Staying with Family
The love of a parent is irreplaceable. Their guidance and encouragement gives us hope for a bright future.
Sadly, when the father [and breadwinner] passes, the mother is left wondering how she will lay food on the table, how she will clothe, educate or even shelter her children.
Often, this results in the orphaned children being sent out to beg.
Crushing for both parties, the mother may even resort to leaving her children at an orphanage. Simply, she cannot afford to care for them.
These 'solutions' are damaging to the cognitive and behavioural development of a child. Commonly, later life concludes in homelessness.
Children require individual care and attention which cannot be achieved in institutional care. They need loving homes to flourish.
By sponsoring an ORPHAN FAMILY, this enables the widow to take care of her children. It takes away the worry of providing food, healthcare, housing, clothing and education.
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), who was also an orphan, said:
“I and the one who looks after an orphan will be together like this in Paradise”.
Then he raised his index and middle fingers together.
[Sahih Muslim]

Thank You
Let us help these widowed mothers live in dignity with her children. May it weigh heavily on your scale. Ameen.
Love from Mariam and her "little sister"
