Support the cost of Umrah of an orphan and their guardian with Gabrielle Alimorad

Support the cost of Umrah of an orphan and their guardian

Islamic Relief Canada is dedicated to supporting vulnerable communities through a range of impactful initiatives. These include organizing Umrah for orphans widows in the community, allowing them to complete an integral act of worship. Your generous contributions play a vital role in empowering the vulnerable in the 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. 

What is this for?

Inspire Umrah is a powerful new initiative by Islamic Relief Canada that brings together the spirit of compassion and the sacred journey of faith. This unique program sends Turkish, Syrian, and Uyghur orphaned children and widowed mothers to perform their long-awaited Umrah.

For many of them, this is not only a spiritual milestone; it’s a healing experience after years of hardship, displacement, and grief.

Your donation will help cover essential costs of Umrah for the orphans and widows, including travel, accommodation, spiritual guidance, and basic needs during the trip. Give the gift of peace, prayer, and purpose - and be part of a journey that restores dignity, uplifts hearts, and transforms lives.

What will I be doing?

Throughout the field study, we will focus on providing orphans with psychosocial support and educational activities in addition to distributing food, clothes, and hygiene items and conducting other community service activities. I will also be visiting Islamic Relief projects in the region to better understand the work being done there.

Inspire Program

Islamic Relief Canada’s Volunteer Abroad Programs are a unique way to contribute to some of IR Canada’s international projects. Before 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 distributions, beneficiary home visits, and building refurbishment.  
This experience allows volunteers to see an existing IR Canada project, contribute to the project through their fundraising efforts, and positively interact with beneficiaries and project staff.
