Where Does My Donation Go? A Transparent Look into Our Operations

One of the most important questions a donor can ask is, "Where is my money actually going?" At Al-Ansor Orphan Care, we believe that transparency isn't just a policy—it's a cornerstone of the trust you place in us. We are committed to showing you exactly how your generosity is transformed into life-changing action.

Our Commitment to Accountability

Every donation, whether it's for Zakat, Sadaqa, or general support, is treated as a sacred trust (Amanah). Our promise is to ensure these funds are used efficiently and effectively to directly benefit the orphans under our care. Our financial model is designed to maximize impact while minimizing administrative overhead.

Breakdown of Fund Allocation:

  • Education (45%): This is our largest area of investment. Funds cover everything from school fees, uniforms, and textbooks to after-school tutoring and vocational training programs. We believe education is the most powerful tool for breaking the cycle of poverty and empowering a child for life.
  • Healthcare & Nutrition (25%): A healthy child is a thriving child. Donations in this category provide comprehensive health check-ups, necessary medical treatments, essential medicines, and balanced, nutritious meals every single day.
  • Shelter & Basic Needs (20%): We ensure every child has a safe, stable, and nurturing living environment. This includes costs for housing, utilities, clothing, and other essential daily necessities to provide a sense of normalcy and security.
  • Community & Spiritual Development (5%): We invest in programs that foster a strong sense of Islamic identity and community. This includes Quranic studies, mentorship programs, and community events that help children feel connected and supported.
  • Administration (5%): A small portion of funds is allocated to essential administrative costs, such as financial oversight, program management, and reporting. We keep our overheads exceptionally low to ensure that approximately 95% of your donation goes directly to program services.

Your Impact in Action

A ₦20,000 donation doesn't just disappear into a large pot. It translates into tangible outcomes:

  • It can pay for a child's school fees for an entire term.
  • It can provide a month's worth of nutritious meals for an orphan.
  • It can cover the cost of a comprehensive health check-up and necessary medications.

We are dedicated to providing regular updates and impact reports to our community of donors. Through our upcoming newsletter and success stories, you will see the faces and read the stories of the children whose lives you are changing.

Thank you for placing your trust in Al-Ansor Orphan Care. Together, we are not just providing aid; we are building futures.
