Common Questions
Here are some of the most common questions. If you have a different question or need more details, please contact us.
Why focus on orphan support?
Across Somalia and the Horn of Africa, countless children are left without parents to care for them. These orphans face life with no food, no safe shelter, no access to education, and no healthcare. Without support, they remain vulnerable to hunger, poverty, exploitation, and hopelessness.
Every child deserves love, care, and the chance to build a future. By focusing on orphan support, Khayr Foundation provides essentials like meals, clothing, school supplies, and healthcare, giving children more than survival. We give them hope, stability, and the opportunity to grow into strong and capable members of their communities.
Supporting an orphan is not only an act of compassion; it is an investment in the future of a child, a family, and an entire generation.
What does my donation provide?
Your donation helps provide orphaned children with the essentials they would otherwise live without. This includes food to fight hunger, clothing for comfort, school supplies to continue their education, and healthcare to protect them from preventable diseases.
Beyond the basics, your support also brings security and hope. With proper care, children are no longer left alone to face life’s struggles. Instead, they are given the chance to grow, learn, and build a brighter future.
Where do we support orphans?
Khayr Foundation supports orphaned and vulnerable children across Somalia and the wider Horn of Africa. Many of these children live in areas where poverty is widespread and access to basic needs is extremely limited.
Our programs currently reach orphans in places such as Mogadishu, Hargeisa, Garissa, Wajir, Jigjiga, Djibouti, Bosaso, and Kismayo. By working with trusted local partners, we ensure that support goes directly to the children who need it most.
Can I see the impact of my donation?
Yes. At Khayr Foundation we believe donors should see how their generosity changes lives. That is why we share updates, photos, and reports from the ground, showing children receiving food, clothing, school supplies, and healthcare made possible by your support.
When you donate to Orphan Support, you are not giving into the unknown. You can witness how your contribution helps children grow healthier, return to school, and feel cared for in ways they never experienced before.
How can I trust that my donation reaches those in need?
At Khayr Foundation, we understand that supporting orphans is a sacred trust. That is why we make sure your donation is handled with full transparency and care. All contributions are directed toward essentials for children, food, shelter, education, clothing, and healthcare.
We work closely with trusted local partners who know the communities and can identify the children most in need. This direct approach ensures that support does not get lost but reaches the orphans who depend on it for survival.
We also strive to keep administrative costs as low as possible, so the maximum benefit of your donation reaches the children themselves. Through reports, images, and updates, you can see how your generosity transforms lives and brings hope to children who would otherwise be left without care.
