Support orphaned children in Azad Kashmir. Join the Saya Orphan Care Programme and sponsor a child today. Your donation provides long-term care, education, and protection for vulnerable children.








A child should never have to grow up alone. Yet across Azad Kashmir…
👉 Thousands of children are doing exactly that.
No father to guide them. No mother to comfort them. No one to protect them.
Just silence where love once existed.
Mustafa was only six years old. He remembers the day everything changed. His father was ill.
Not seriously at first. Something that could have been treated.
But there was no proper diagnosis. No access to proper healthcare. No money for treatment.
And slowly…
👉 What was preventable became permanent.
Mustafa didn’t just lose his father. He lost security. He lost direction. He lost the person who made him feel safe.
Today, Mustafa lives under our care at the Saya Orphan Centre in Neelum. He is safe. He is supported. But the absence…
👉 That never fully leaves.
Across Kashmir, thousands of children are facing the same reality. There are over 215,000 orphans across Pakistan and Kashmir. But these are not numbers.
👉 These are children.
Children who need Protection. Stability. Someone to stand beside them
In Urdu, Saya (سایہ) means:
👉 Shade. Shelter. Protection.
It is the shadow that protects you from harsh sunlight. It is the presence that makes you feel safe. It is the quiet support that never leaves your side. For most of us… That Saya is our parents. But for an orphan… That Saya is gone.
The Saya Orphan Care Programme exists to replace what was lost. Not with charity., but with care, consistency, and dignity.
We provide:
We do not just support children.
👉 We stand with them.
When you sponsor an orphan…
👉 You become that protection.
👉 You become that support.
👉 You become their Saya.
For just £1 a day, you can change a child’s life.
This is not a one-time donation.
👉 This is a lifeline.
“The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this.” (Bukhari)
This is not just charity. This is a path to Jannah.

When a child loses their parents… They lose more than people.
They lose:
Your support restores that. It gives them structure. It gives them opportunity. It gives them hope.
You may never meet them. But your impact will shape their entire life.
Every child deserves support. Even if you cannot sponsor monthly, you can still make a difference.
For just £10, you can provide:
These are not extras. For many children, these are things they have never had. And sometimes a small gift is enough to remind a child they are not forgotten.
This is not short-term help. This is continuous care. Your support becomes:
👉 Sadaqah Jariyah
A reward that continues every day that child benefits. You are not just helping them survive. You are helping them rebuild.
Somewhere in Kashmir… A child is growing up without support. Without guidance. Without a Saya.
We are already have more than 200 children in our care, and capacity to add more when our
👉 That can change today.
Sponsor an orphan. Give a gift. Change a life.
Be the reason a child feels safe again. Be the reason they have a future. Be their Saya.
The Saya Programme is Kashmir Welfare Foundation’s orphan support initiative, providing long-term care, education, and essential support to vulnerable children across Azad Kashmir. The goal is to become a protective “Saya” (shade) for children who have lost parental support.
“Saya” (سایہ) means shade, protection, and shelter in Urdu. In an Islamic context, it represents care, compassion, and safeguarding those in need. The programme is named Saya because it aims to provide that protective support to orphaned children.
