In Afghanistan, orphaned children face a harsh winter without adequate heating, clothing, and resources, leaving them vulnerable to life-threatening illnesses.
Similarly, in Iraq, many orphaned children live in damaged homes, offering little protection from the freezing temperatures, especially at night, putting them at risk of illness and exposure.
Your support this winter can provide vital aid to protect orphaned children and their families.
Together, we can ensure that no child faces the cold alone.

This winter, children like Rashid are bracing themselves for the challenges that lie ahead. While he finds joy in playing in the snow, the reality for families like his is filled with overwhelming difficulties.
Many children lack adequate clothing and heating, forcing them to face the chill in homes that offer little warmth. In Afghanistan, nearly 60% of children live in poverty, making winter particularly harsh for orphaned children like Rashid.
With your help, we can provide the crucial assistance they need to get through the winter period.
Since its establishment over a decade ago, Al-Ayn has enjoyed the direct support and blessings of Al-Sayyid Al-Sistani. This encompasses his authorisation to receive religious dues and donations. The official and latest Authorisation (Ijaza) from his eminence can be read in full by clicking the link below.
Al-Ayn’s Winter Appeal is an annual campaign designed to provide essential support and assistance to vulnerable orphaned children and families during the winter season in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The winter season can be particularly challenging for those already facing hardship. Harsh weather conditions, limited access to warm clothing, and increased costs create significant burdens for individuals and families struggling to make ends meet. Al-Ayn aims to alleviate some of these challenges by providing necessary resources and support.
