Notes
  1. 1) Your khums due date is the first day you started your job or business. If you are retired or not in employment, then you can agree a khums due date with a representative of the marja'a, or calculate separate khums years for each profit that you make, from the date you made that profit.
  2. 2) The khums of commercial commodities and real estate(s) which are intended for trading, should be paid in accordance with their current market value, even if they were bought with profits which a year has elapsed on, unless the price at which they were bought is higher than the current value.
  3. 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.
  4. 4) If sustenance debts are fully repaid in the financial year, this amount is excluded from the profits.
  5. 5) Possessions which are not subject to khums are:
    1. a. Possessions owned through inheritance:
    2. i. Cash
    3. ii. Real Estate
    4. iii. Objects that are transferrable and the like
    5. b. Possessions owned by the wife from the dowry (mahr):

“Did He not find you an orphan and give (you) refuge?”

– Qur’an (93:6)

We believe that when you give children the tools they need to achieve their potential, the possibilities are endless. The monthly financial support received by each eligible child is life changing. With a minimum of £60 per month, the basic needs of the child can be looked after and they are brought above the poverty line.

Fighting the Impact of War

Over a million orphaned children in Iraq are still suffering from the impact of war. We don’t hear much about their country in the news any more. But years of violence, political instability and poverty have cost them more than any child should have to bear.

We are Al-Ayn. We are on the ground in Iraq, currently supporting over 98,000 orphaned children across the country. Since 2006, 114,786 orphaned children have gained security, stability and long-term well-being through Al-Ayn Child Sponsorship. 52,194 of these children have completed their sponsorship programme, over the past decade. Today, over 1,000 orphaned children are still on our sponsorship waiting list, hoping for support. Can you afford to help?

100% of your donations and sponsorship payments reach our orphaned children. We don’t deduct admin fees.

Choose to be part of the reason they can dare to dream, despite being orphaned and living in poverty.

Dignity. Recovery. Hope.

It doesn’t cost much to save an orphaned child from crisis. At Al-Ayn we begin with dignity.

The Al-Ayn Child Sponsorship is just £60 a month. This goes a long way in Iraq. It allows us to show orphaned children that they are valued and cared for. It allows us to engender recovery from trauma and mental health issues. It inspires hope.

Your support provides an orphaned child with urgent financial aid (in the form of regular monthly allowances), which is spent by their guardian on the essential needs of the child. Our comprehensive care system then gives the child access to medical care, mental health support, tuition, housing support and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I contact the child or directly meet them?

Direct contact is not permitted. However, Al-Ayn can facilitate a visit between the sponsor and the child at the child’s local Al-Ayn office, subject to the approval of the orphaned child and their guardian.

How much notice do I need to give to end my sponsorship?

We kindly request four months notice, to allow enough time to find an alternative sponsor.

If I Gift Aid my sponsorship, will the Gift Aid be given to the child?

Yes. Gift Aid claimed on a private sponsorship is passed on to the child.

How does group sponsorship work?

You can come together as a group to sponsor an orphaned child. For example as a student society, football team, study circle, or just as a group of friends. Please appoint a representative amongst yourselves to correspond with us, and then they would need to fill in a sponsorship form as above.

The representative would be responsible for either collecting the amount needed for annual sponsorship (£720) and passing it on to us, or collecting the monthly amount (£60) on a monthly basis. You will receive details of the orphaned child sponsored once the first payment is received.

Please contact us on [email protected] if you require further information.

How is Sponsorship Aid distributed?

Mothers (or the guardians) of the orphaned children visit their local Al-Ayn (Iraq) branch on a monthly basis in order to collect their financial aid. Collection points are designed to mimic a bank which allows the payments to be received in a professional manner where privacy is respected.

Children are encouraged to play in the play area or pick a toy from the Al-Ayn Toy Shop during this process.

This is especially important to Al-Ayn, as it allows checks to be made on the child, and the mother is able to communicate any issues or requests she may have.

In addition to the monthly allowances, orphaned children benefit from access to medical care, educational support, psychological rehabilitation where needed, and other programmes tailored to their needs.

What is the minimum period of time I can sponsor an orphaned child?

We kindly request a minimum of one year for private sponsorship, in order to be matched to a specific orphaned child.

Why has the monthly sponsorship cost increased?

Our monthly child sponsorship amount has recently increased from £55 to £60 due to rising living expenses in Iraq and changes in exchange rates. This adjustment ensures that we can continue to provide comprehensive support for orphaned children, lifting them out of poverty.

Any new sponsorship request made on or after 18 March 2024 will be processed at the new monthly amount.

Existing sponsors (those who requested to sponsor a child before 18 March 2024) will be contacted within the next few weeks to discuss the next steps and the option to increase their monthly payment.

Please note, if existing sponsors choose not to increase their monthly sponsorship amount, they will still be supporting the same child, but their contribution will not fully cover the child’s sponsorship. Al-Ayn will utilise other donations to ensure the child receives the full support required.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

I am an existing sponsor; can I increase my sponsorship amount from now?

Yes, you can.

Please contact [email protected] and we will start the process of increasing your monthly sponsorship payment to £60
