Transforming Lives,
One Orphan at a Time
In Azad Jammu & Kashmir, orphaned children face immense challenges. READ Foundation’s Orphan Sponsorship Programme offers hope and a path to a brighter future. For just £30 a month, you can provide a child with quality education and much more for an entire year. Our holistic approach ensures that each sponsored child receives the care they need to thrive. Last year alone, we transformed the lives of over 7,000 orphans. By sponsoring an orphan, you’re not just changing one life – you’re uplifting entire communities and breaking the cycle of poverty. Join us in making a lasting difference.
Empowering Orphans Through Education: A Path to a Brighter Future.
In Pakistan, over 4 million orphaned children face vulnerability to exploitation and lack of opportunities. At READ Foundation, we provide a unique solution: all sponsored orphans attend our very own READ schools, ensuring quality education and holistic development. Your sponsorship covers tuition, uniforms, supplies, and a living stipend. By supporting an orphan, you’re offering more than education – you’re providing a nurturing environment, emotional support, and a chance for a brighter future.

The Prophet (pbuh) said, 'The one who sponsors an orphan and I will be together in Paradise like this,' holding his fingers together to illustrate.

The dramatic effect of climate change has increased incidences of flooding in South Asia in recent years. One-third of the area of Bangladesh floods annually during the monsoon season, but extreme floods now cover up to two-thirds of the country.
The upstream areas of the Meghna River house wetland habitats; including rivers, streams and seasonally flooded cultivated plains, in addition to wetlands of static water. This making transportation challenging – flooding roads and paths make access to essentials such as health facilities, schools and markets difficult.
During the monsoon season, children find themselves unable to attend school due to these challenges in geography and the negative consequences of extreme weather. Flash floods frequently cause loss and damage to housing and personal property in the area, which in turn perpetuates the cycle of poverty. Too often, children are forced to drop out of school and work to earn money for their family.
Your donation will help READ provide:
School fees – The programme relieves families from the burden of paying for schooling, so that children can go on to enjoy learning, making friends and being themselves.
Text books and stationery – A backpack is provided containing a notebook, pens, pencils, colouring pens, an eraser, a pencil sharpener, a geometry set, and text books.
School uniforms – The child is given a full uniform, including a jumper, two shirts, a pair of trousers and two pairs of sturdy shoes for the school year.
Living costs – The child’s guardian is given a monthly allowance to help with the cost of shelter, food, clean water and any other living costs.
You will receive updates on the sponsored child’s educational progress and their school report. This will include their favourite subjects, hobbies and overall personal development.
Help us change the lives of vulnerable children where it is needed most.
