It is estimated that there are more than 140 million orphans in the world. A majority of them live in geographies hit with occupation, wars and crises. Many orphans with no guardians face the threat of human trafficking, child soldier recruitment, child labor, organ mafia, drug addiction, crime organizations and begging networks.

Supporting 15.000 orphans in Turkey

IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation, which has been delivering aids for orphans for 29 years, delivers donors’ monthly aid to 124.388 orphans in total, including 14.987 in Turkey and 109.401 in other countries. IHH supports orphans until they are capable of supporting themselves, meeting all their needs ranging from shelter to healthcare, from education to food aid continuously. Our main aim is for orphans to live with their relatives without being dependent on others. IHH also constructs orphanages for orphans that have lost their parents and are unable to live with relatives.
