> Donate to our Orphans Fund

The world can be a terrifying place with broken systems, global pandemics, conflicts and natural disasters. Now imagine what that would be like through the eyes of an orphaned or vulnerable child? Terrifying.

Every single child is special and unique, and it is their human right to grow up in a safe, nurturing environment.

READ Foundation has been at the forefront of taking care of orphans for years. However, we want to make them independent with our support.By sponsoring an orphan,can help them bloom so they can look forward to a better tomorrow. YOU are empowering future generations. YOU are building a brighter future.

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.

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.
