Summary

Help 40 Palestinian Refugee ill/special needs Orphans and Children in Jordan

Story

This special needs school/ day home was opened for Palestinian refugee orphans and children fi sabilillah by our Palestinian sister, who is a refugee and a widow herself, and currently houses 40 orphans/children. They are suffering from various illnesses, including various levels of disability, behavioural issues, mental health, autism, ADHD, learning difficulties, some are non verbal completely and scream and shout all the time, and some of them have lost both parents, whilst some have a mother only. These children have no status and are not allowed in any Jordanian public place, including schools.

Even though they are situated in Jordan, the sister has no status, no work permit, therefore no income and the school is run purely on Sadaqah and Zakat donated by the good-hearted people. They have no help from the government or any organisation. 

Our sister has dedicated all her time, efforts, help and support to take care and look after these ill and destitute orphans who were nothing but a nuisance to the society, and took them in one by one, ill, hungry, dirty, with hardly any thorn cloths on their backs.

The orphans' age range from 4 to 17 years old.

She needs a minimum of £500 a month to run this place, to provide them with basic food, clean water, bills, medical supplies, clothes, shoes, etc.

In the videos below, you can see some of them, the state of the school and their playground.

These children need at least one hot meal a day, some milk, warm clothes, medicines, love and care, a place to learn, play and develop their social skills.

Did you know that our Prophet saws was involved in a charity organisation founded by non other but himself and his beloved wife Khadijah r.a. that supported widows and orphans for many years before the Revelation, before Islam?

And what did he saws say about the orphans in Islam? 

Our Beloved Prophet (PBUH) said “The one who cares for an orphan, and myself will be together in Paradise like this’ and he held his two fingers together to illustrate.” [Bukhari].

Let's put a smile on their troubled faces and help to remove at least a small piece of their affliction, distress and suffering.

Updates

A few more orphans have chosen their Eid clothes.

Each orphan has been allocated an exact amount of money.

They have already taken a few of the orphans to buy their Eid clothes. The happiness on their faces - so humbling.

 

In this video, making lots of dua'as for all of us.
