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.
