Feed an Orphan for $40/Month

For just $40 per month, you can provide nutritious meals to an orphan in Indonesia. Food is the foundation of everything—without it, a child cannot learn, grow, or thrive. Your donation feeds them directly, with 100% going to their care.

How We Keep Costs Low

We buy food directly from local wholesale markets (pasar induk) at the best prices, cutting out middlemen and maximizing every dollar. Our local volunteers—unpaid community members who live among the orphans—package and distribute food monthly. No expensive international staff. No overhead eating into your donation.

The result: $40 feeds an orphan for an entire month. That's less than $1.35 per day.

Our Neighborhood-First Approach

We believe in small, intimate, personal help at the neighborhood level. This is the opposite of mega-charities that parachute in, drop bags of rice, and disappear. Our approach maximizes impact through radical efficiency—no expensive international staff, no bloated headquarters, no multi-million dollar marketing budgets. Just direct, personal care delivered by people who live in the same communities as the families they serve.

Our model combines old-world personal connection with modern transparency and accountability:

• Local volunteers embedded in communities — Our volunteers aren't outsiders. They live near and among the families we serve, often in the same neighborhoods. They know the orphans by name, understand their individual circumstances, and can respond immediately when needs arise. This eliminates the inefficiencies of centralized bureaucracy while ensuring authentic, caring relationships.

• Monthly community gatherings — Every month, our volunteers come together to package food, share updates about families, and identify those requiring extra help. These gatherings are more than logistics—they're how we catch emerging problems early, coordinate emergency responses, and ensure no child falls through the cracks. Real people discussing real needs, not anonymous case files.

• Deep personal relationships — Because our volunteers know each family personally, we can respond to emergencies, medical needs, and educational gaps as they arise. When a child gets sick, we know within hours—not weeks. When school fees are due, we're already aware. This responsiveness is impossible for large-scale operations that rely on reports and surveys.

• Long-term, consistent presence — We've been serving the same neighborhoods for over a decade. Families trust us because we've proven ourselves year after year. This consistency creates stability for orphans who have already experienced the trauma of losing a parent. They know we'll be there next month, and the month after that.

This model means your donation achieves maximum impact. No layers of management skimming overhead. No expensive international consultants. No glossy annual reports that cost more than some families receive in aid. Just direct, efficient, personal care—the way charity was meant to be.

As we grow, our vision is to establish small orphan relief centers in each neighborhood we serve—not massive facilities, but intimate community hubs where help is always nearby and every child is known and cared for.

Beyond Food: Complete Care

While food is our priority, our local presence allows us to provide holistic support when needs arise:

• Emergency assistance when families face unexpected crises
• Medical support for illness, injuries, and preventive care
• School supplies and fees to keep children in education
• Spiritual guidance and connection to the Muslim community

Because our volunteers know each family personally, we catch problems early and respond quickly.

100% of Your Donation Goes to Orphans

All operational costs—this website, administration, everything—are covered by income from our waqf (endowment). Additionally, our waqf generates approximately $1,200/month in excess income that goes directly to feeding more orphans.

When you donate, every dollar reaches the children. No portion is diverted to overhead.

The Impact of Your $40

Your monthly gift provides:

• Daily meals sourced from local markets at wholesale prices
• Access to emergency support through our volunteer network
• A caring community that knows and watches over each child
• Consistent, reliable care month after month, year after year

Many orphans we've supported have grown into self-reliant adults. Some have returned as volunteers, helping the next generation—proof that sustained, personal care transforms lives.

How You Can Help

• Give $40/month to sponsor complete food support for one orphan
• Give any amount and we'll combine donations to maximize impact
• Spread the word to friends and family who share our values
• Volunteer locally if you're in Indonesia and want to help directly

A Hadith to Reflect On

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this," and he held his two fingers together. (Bukhari)

Your support earns eternal reward while changing a child's life today.

Zakat, Fidyah, and Kafarah

This campaign is eligible for Zakat, Fidyah, and Kafarah. If donating for these purposes, please consider covering card processing fees so the full amount reaches the orphans. At $40/month per orphan, that's under $1.35 per day—well within fidyah guidelines.
