An Overview
Umrah for Orphans is a sacred journey that gives Palestinian orphans inspiration, strengthens faith, and reconnects them to the Ummah. For over 10 years, Umrah for Orphans has enabled more than 3,500 Palestinian orphans to embark on the journey of a lifetime, most recently in January 2026. Many shared that performing Umrah once felt beyond their reach, and that seeing the Kaabah for the first time restored a belief that anything is possible.
Through your donations, these children are able to strengthen their spiritual connection to Allah SWT and experience a profound sense of belonging to the global Ummah, renewing their faith, hope, and dignity.
Journey of a lifetime
For each Palestinian orphan we take on Umrah, it is the journey of a lifetime and the realisation of their families’ prayers. Already struggling against adversity, many never thought a pilgrimage to the heart of Islam would come true.
For nearly all of the orphans, it is the first time they will venture to another country. Umrah is a journey of emotion, tears, spirituality, a strengthening of faith and confirmation that they are part of a global family.

Your support
Umrah for Orphans started in 2015 with two dozen Palestinian orphans travelling from Jordan to Makkah. Since then, your incredible support has allowed us to take hundreds of Palestinian orphans – boys, girls, disabled – from Jordan and Al Quds (Jerusalem) to Makkah and Madinah shareef every year. Your support meets all the costs of the pilgrimage. In return we provide photos and video feedback, while the orphans dedicate duas during Umrah for their sponsor. Since January 2015, over 3,500 Palestinian orphans, widowed mothers and disabled children have performed Umrah.
