Al-Ayn is a (501c3) non profit organization currently serving orphaned children in Iraq, Afghanistan and Ghana. The organization was initiated in 2006 by Syed Sistani and he continues to maintain oversight of the organization.
In addition to basic aid, food, clothing and housing, they provide medical and academic support, vocational training, opportunities to access higher education and support to launch their career.
The goal of Al-Ayn is to empower orphaned children to not only survive, but thrive, and improve their lives and the lives of their family.
They are blessed to have the full support and supervision of Syed Sistani, and his direct authorization to collect and spend 100% of khums on orphaned children and their various needs.
During Muharram, Al Ayn is raising funds to support their Orphaned Childrens Fund
