3) If the calculations show that the amount of khums due is negative as a result of sustenance debts, then the amount of the sustenance debt equivalent to the amount of khums due for the rest of the item is calculated and excluded.

What Eid Really Means to an Orphaned Child

26 May 2025

What Eid Really Means to an Orphaned Child

Eid isn’t just a celebration – it’s a memory in the making. For most children, it’s the thrill of wearing something new, the warmth of being surrounded by family, and the joy of receiving a gift that feels just for them. But for orphaned children in places like Afghanistan and Ghana, Eid often arrives quietly. No new outfit. No toys. No feast. Just another day.

This year, you can rewrite that story.

A Simple Gift. A Powerful Message.

Your donation of $30 might feel small. But to a child who’s endured loss and hardship, it means the world. Each gift – whether it’s a toy, a new set of clothes, or school supplies – is chosen with care and adapted to the child’s age and needs.

More importantly, it carries a message: They are not forgotten. And that message travels far beyond material value. It carries hope. It lifts spirits. It makes a child feel human again.

What We Often Forget: The Mothers Left Behind

When a father passes away in already vulnerable communities, the burden on the mother becomes enormous. She’s grieving. She’s navigating poverty. And she’s trying – against all odds – to hold her family together.

On Eid, the pressure to make the day feel “normal” weighs heavily on her shoulders. For many widowed mothers, there simply isn’t enough money for essentials, let alone gifts.

When you donate to Al-Ayn’s Eid Gift Campaign, you’re easing that pressure. You’re helping a widowed mother feel supported, respected, and less alone in her struggle.

Where Your Donation Goes

Your contribution to our Eid Gift Fund supports orphaned children in Afghanistan and Ghana directly.

Here’s how it works:

$30 per child covers an Eid gift tailored to their age and local needs

All donations help ensure every child receives something special

Any extra funds go toward our Orphaned Children Fund, which provides long-term support like food, shelter, healthcare, and education for children and families in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Ghana

We believe in transparency and impact. Every penny is part of a bigger promise.

Why Now?

Eid al-Adha is approaching and it is a time to remember the values we live by: sacrifice, gratitude, and giving. In these sacred days, our acts of generosity are not only multiplied in reward – they become a legacy.

A Chance to Do Something Beautiful
This is your opportunity to bring back the joy of Eid for children who’ve lost too much, too soon. It’s your chance to stand beside a mother who’s doing her best in impossible conditions. And it’s a chance to invest in compassion – one gift, one child at a time.
