Every child deserves stability, belonging and the opportunity to grow. Around the world, millions of children are growing up without parental care. Without consistent support, many face heightened risks of poverty, interrupted education, limited healthcare access and emotional hardship.

We believe orphan support must go beyond short-term relief. It must create environments where children feel safe, supported and valued — not just for a moment, but for the long term.

Our orphan programs operate in Palestine, Yemen, Lebanon, Türkiye and Afghanistan, providing essential support alongside structured, holistic care that nurtures children’s emotional, physical and social wellbeing.

This is not about temporary assistance, it’s about building stability that endures.

Our Approach

We work through trusted local partners and community-based youth centres to deliver collective, structured care. This model allows us to reach more children while ensuring support is consistent, culturally grounded and shaped by local leadership.

Rather than focusing on one-off aid, we invest in systems that strengthen a child’s entire support network — from education to wellbeing to daily stability.

Your support helps create long-term environments where children can grow with dignity and confidence.

How AusRelief Supports Orphans

Our ongoing orphan programs include:

• Safe community centres where children can learn, play and build friendships

• Access to medical and health support

• Educational tutoring and school assistance

• Food support and essential daily needs

• Emotional and psychosocial wellbeing programs

We also provide Ramadan iftars and Eid gifts, ensuring children remain connected to moments of joy and community throughout the year.

Education is one of the most powerful pathways to long-term stability.

Through tutoring, school support and sponsorship at higher education levels, we help young people stay engaged in their studies and pursue meaningful futures. From textbooks and uniforms to university support, our focus is on removing barriers that interrupt progress.

When a young person completes their education, it doesn’t just transform their life — it strengthens families and communities.

Why It Matters

Consistent care changes trajectories. When children grow up in stable, supportive environments, they are more likely to complete their education, access healthcare, build healthy relationships and contribute positively to their communities.

This is what long-term orphan care looks like.
Not survival, but stability.
Not charity, but empowerment.
