Sponsor An Orphan - Read Foundation

Transform Lives for the Better

In a world facing challenges like global pandemics, conflicts, and natural disasters, the struggles of an orphaned or vulnerable child are beyond what many of us can imagine. For these children, basic needs such as safety, love, and education often seem out of reach.

But what if you could help make these essentials a reality?

Every child deserves a chance. A chance to be protected, to learn, to have hope. With your support, we at READ Foundation have been turning these possibilities into realities for years. Our goal isn’t just to provide temporary aid; we aim to equip them with the knowledge and confidence to thrive on their own.

By sponsoring an orphan, you’re not only addressing their immediate needs but investing in their future. You’re allowing them to create a life where their aspirations become achievable.

How You Can Help?

Through your sponsorship, READ ensures:

 

  1. Education and Friendship: We cover the school fees, allowing children the joy of learning, forging friendships, and simply being a child.

  2. Tools for Success: We provide a backpack filled with essentials like notebooks, pens, pencils, colouring pens, erasers, sharpeners, geometry sets, and crucial textbooks.

  3. Dignity and Pride: Every child deserves to wear a uniform. We offer them a complete set, inclusive of a jumper, shirts, trousers, and sturdy shoes to last the school year.

  4. Holistic Care: Beyond schooling, we support the child’s guardian with a monthly stipend, ensuring the child’s overall well-being, from shelter and food to clean water.

Additionally, you become a vital part of their story. Receive regular updates about your sponsored child’s academic progress, personal interests, and overall growth. Celebrate their successes, both large and small, and see the direct impact of your support.

Help us make dreams come true. Transform the lives of vulnerable children where it is needed the most.

Our journey began in Kashmir, Pakistan, which is now one of READ Foundation’s longest running programmes.

An orphan is a child without a father or both parents, as one parent would be a source of provision and protection for a child.

We support over 13,000 orphans.

It is in Azad Jammu Kashmir, Pakistan.

  • 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
  • Textbooks and stationary – A backpack is provided, containing a notebook, pens, pencils, colouring pens, an eraser, a pencil sharpener, a geometry set, and textbooks
  • 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 or any need that arises.
  • We would like you to sponsor a child for the full duration of their studies. If you donate £360 as a one-off payment however, it will last for only 12 months. We will then contact you each year to renew your sponsorship. We would urge you, however, to set up a monthly direct debit for £30 per month so your sponsorship can continue without annual renewals.
