In the remote villages and towns of Azad Kashmir, countless children live lives that few of us can imagine. Some are orphans, having lost their parents to conflict, natural disasters, or poverty. Others are abandoned, left to fend for themselves with no one to care for them. Some were never registered at birth, meaning they don’t officially exist in the eyes of the state. That means no identity, no rights, no protection. These children are the Invisible Children of Kashmir.
Giving Hope to Forgotten Children in Kashmir
They grow up unseen and unheard, with no access to food, education, healthcare, or even the comfort of knowing they belong to a family. They drift through life on the margins of society, at constant risk of exploitation, malnutrition, and abuse.
Through the Invisible Child Project, Kashmir Welfare Foundation is changing that. By sponsoring an invisible child, you can give them dignity, belonging, and a future filled with hope.

The Hidden Crisis of Invisible Children
While the world sees the beauty of Kashmir’s landscapes, its lush valleys, and flowing rivers, very few see the hidden suffering of its most vulnerable children.
Many of these children come from families devastated by poverty, floods, earthquakes, and conflict along the Line of Control (LOC). Some are displaced by natural disasters and have no official documents. Others are born to families so poor they cannot provide even the basics of life.
Without a birth certificate or legal recognition, these children cannot enroll in school, access medical care, or receive official government services. They don’t officially “exist,” which makes it easy for society to overlook them and dangerous for them to survive.
These forgotten children face some of the harshest realities imaginable:
- Going to sleep hungry, not knowing when their next meal will come
- Begging on the streets just to survive
- Being at risk of exploitation, trafficking, and abuse
- Watching other children go to school while they remain locked in a cycle of poverty
- Growing up without love, support, or a sense of belonging
Every invisible child is a life waiting to be seen. Every one of them deserves a chance.

How the Invisible Child Project Works
The Invisible Child Project is designed to reach these children, restore their dignity, and help them build a brighter future.
Through your support, we:
- Provide daily meals to keep them nourished and healthy
- Cover education costs, including books, uniforms, and school fees
- Cover the cost of Accomodation in a hostel
- Offer safe spaces and emotional support so they feel valued and protected
- Register children officially whenever possible, giving them an identity and legal recognition
- Work with local communities to protect vulnerable children from harm and exploitation
When you sponsor an invisible child, you are doing more than just providing material support. You are telling that child: “You matter. You are seen. You belong.”
Sponsor an Invisible Child Today – Change a Life Forever
Sponsor an Orphan or Abandoned Child in Kashmir
For just £1 a day, you can completely transform a child’s life.
Your sponsorship provides food, clean water, education, clothing, and emotional care. It’s not just about survival, it’s about giving a child the tools and confidence to thrive.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ 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).
Supporting an orphan child in Kashmir is one of the most rewarding acts of Sadaqah you can give. It is a form of Sadaqah Jariyah, meaning the blessings continue for as long as that child benefits from your generosity.
The Impact of Your Support
When you adopt or sponsor an invisible child, you give them more than just material aid. You give them:
- Hope: The belief that tomorrow can be better
- Belonging: A feeling of being part of a caring community
- Opportunity: Access to education and skills for a brighter future
- Protection: Safety from abuse, hunger, and exploitation
Last year, thanks to our donors, the Kashmir Welfare Foundation:
- Provided hundreds of children with daily meals
- Enrolled dozens of invisible children in school for the very first time
- Helped families recover from disasters like floods and earthquakes
- Gave orphaned and abandoned children a safe, nurturing environment to grow
But the need is far greater than what we’ve achieved. Thousands more remain unseen, waiting for someone like you to notice them.
Why These Children Are Invisible
Many of these children are “invisible” because of systemic issues that go beyond individual poverty:
- Conflict in Kashmir displaces families.
- Floods and earthquakes wipe out entire villages, leaving children orphaned and undocumented
- Deep-rooted poverty and social stigma prevent families from registering births
- Children born outside of marriage or abandoned at birth are often hidden or rejected
This combination of factors creates a generation of children who fall through the cracks. Without intervention, their futures are bleak.
The Invisible Child Project bridges that gap, offering these children a chance to step out of the shadows and into the light.
