Support Orphans and Vulnerable Communities in Indonesia with Sana Khan

Support Orphans and Vulnerable Communities in Indonesia

Islamic Relief Canada is dedicated to supporting vulnerable communities through a range of impactful initiatives. These include organizing educational workshops for children and youth, offering psychosocial support programs, rehabilitating schools and homes, and distributing food and essential supplies. Your generous contributions play a vital role in empowering these communities and fostering their long-term development. Together, we can bring hope and relief to those who need it most. Join us in making a meaningful difference.

Who Are We?

The Inspire volunteer abroad program at Islamic Relief Canada is a unique opportunity that provides hands-on education to volunteers on the field and at home.  Over the past 7 years, we have taken 40 cohorts to 9 different countries to learn from our teams and right-holders on the ground. This program focuses on having volunteers raise donations and awareness while allowing them to serve their communities locally and globally. 

Through this experience, Islamic Relief Canada volunteers will engage directly with orphan children in Indonesia in order to better understand their circumstances and raise awareness.

Support our volunteers and take part in supporting this noble cause! 

What is this for?

This fundraising effort supports Islamic Relief Canada’s community development projects in Indonesia, as well as Islamic Relief's global emergency initiatives wherever the need is greatest. Your contributions will directly empower vulnerable communities, particularly children and youth, through educational programs, psychosocial support activities, community service projects such as school and home rehabilitation, and the distribution of food and hygiene kits. These initiatives address socio-economic challenges, build resilience, and promote long-term self-reliance. Your support will make a lasting impact on the lives of those in need, where it is needed most.

Inspire Program

The Inspire Volunteer Abroad Programs are a unique way to contribute to some of Islamic Relief Canada’s international projects. Prior to volunteering abroad, selected volunteers to raise funds that go directly to the project they will be assisting with.

While on the field study, volunteers will be part of a collaborative program where they will take part in several activities, including peer-to-peer learning opportunities, food, hygiene, and livelihood distributions, beneficiary home visits, and building refurbishment.  

This experience allows volunteers to see an existing Islamic Relief Canada project, contribute to the project through their fundraising efforts, and positively interact with beneficiaries and project staff.

Islamic Relief in Indonesia

Since 2000, Islamic relief Canada has been supporting vulnerable communities in Indonesia through WASH assistance, livelihood support, and NFI (Non-Food Items) parcels. It has also responded to natural disasters and sponsored hundreds of orphans through the Orphan Sponsorship Program. According to UNICEF, there are an estimated 4.4 Million orphans in Indonesia including over 25,000 children orphaned due to COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic.
