Global child sponsorships

Global child
sponsorships program

Today, Qatar Charity sponsors 220,000 orphans around the world.

Orphaned children are among the most at-risk members of society.

The loss of one or both parents often deprives them of the care, protection, and financial stability essential for healthy development.

Without this support, they may struggle to meet their basic needs, face barriers to education and healthcare, and become more vulnerable to exploitation, child labor, or neglect. Many also endure social stigma and emotional trauma, which can lead to long-term psychological challenges.

How Sponsorship Makes a Difference

 

Since 1984, Qatar Charity has partnered with donors to provide sustained care for some of the world’s most vulnerable children.

 
Today, orphan sponsorship programs extend across 42 countries, offering a lifeline to children who have lost parental support. Monthly sponsorships help cover school fees, uniforms, books, and essential supplies, ensuring uninterrupted access to education—one of the most powerful tools for breaking the cycle of poverty. Contributions also provide food, shelter, clothing, and hygiene items, creating a safe and stable environment where children can grow and thrive.

An Integrated Community

Approach

Beyond individual sponsorships

Qatar Charity invests in broader community projects that create lasting impact.

These initiatives include building and improving schools, hospitals, and essential infrastructure, as well as running programs that support other vulnerable families.

By combining direct sponsorship with community development, Qatar Charity ensures that orphaned children not only receive immediate care but also benefit from stronger, more resilient communities that nurture their long-term well-being.

Qatar Charity-Sponsored Children Join the Street Child World Cup 2022

Twenty children sponsored by Qatar Charity in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Sudan traveled to Doha to take part in the 2022 Street Child World Cup (SCWC), joining teams from 25 countries. Organized by Street Child United, the event provides vulnerable youth with a platform to share their experiences and advocate for their rights.

 

Over eight days, participants competed in a global football tournament and engaged in congress sessions focused on the challenges faced by street-connected children, including poverty, limited access to education and healthcare, and the need for greater protection and equality. The event concluded with the release of the Qatar Commitment Document—a declaration of demands drafted by the young participants calling for action on critical issues such as gender equality, child protection, and the elimination of discrimination.

Our participation in this event is lifechanging, and we hope to seize the opportunity given to us and return home holding new experiences, aspirations  and new friendships formed with our brothers in Sudan, Pakistan, Palestine, and all other countries.” ..
