“And they feed you for the love of Allah, the poor, the orphan, and the captive. (Saying) “We feed you for the sake of Allah alone; no reward do we desire from you, nor thanks.”
(The Holy Qur’an :Al-Insaan: 8-9)
Initiated in 2004, the Ryerson Orphan Sponsorship Program is a subsidiary of the Ryerson MSA. The purpose of this program is to raise awareness of the conditions of the orphans around the world and what we can do to give them a better life, by the mercy of Allah. These orphans have been though some of the worst difficulties imaginable such as war and famine, and rightfully need our help in any form or shape – even if it is a loonie.
The orphans are sponsored through charity organizations that are registered by the government of Canada and the donations are used for their education, health expenses, food, shelter and other basic necessities.
The program has a 100 % donation policy. It is structured to run without any administrative costs whatsoever by working on a ‘penny-in-penny-out’ system. This is one way in which the program ensures that the orphans receive the most out of the financial support that you, the donor, have to offer.
Accumulatively, for the 5 years since initiation of this program, enough funds have been raised to enable the sponsor of 45 orphans from 10 countries, spanning 3 continents (for a full list of countries please click here ).
Now the challenge is to re-sponsor all 45 orphans for another year.
You can help by making a donation, sponsoring an orphan yourself, or volunteering to aid our cause.
May Allah reward you for all your efforts!
