A chance to serve 300 orphans with 300 stories: Sponsor a child of IBO and support them in their journey towards education, stability, and a bright future.


Sponsor The Children of Imam Bukhari Orphan Education Center in Kabul, Afghanistan

300 beautiful faces. 300 hopes and dreams. For just $380 you can provide an orphan with school fees, daily lunches, health insurance, uniforms, and school supplies for an entire year! Join in spreading love, stability, and education to a young generation that has grown up surrounded by the plight of war – a chance at a life-changing opportunity of education in a place that harbors their growth.

The Imam Bukhari Orphan Education Center is located in the Nawabad Demazaang village of Kabul City, Afghanistan. Dr. Suliman is the Executive Director of the school and oversees over 40 staff members and 300-orphaned students. Almost $1 a day can help answer the prayer of a student.

  • School Supplies: Backpacks, notebooks
  • School Fees/Expenses
  • Medical Expenses

Total Cost for an entire year: $380.

Take a Tour:

Over the past 5 years, we've been able to expand and renovate the Imam Bukhari Orphan Education Center into a total of 4 floors, each of them serving a different purpose. Please click on the image below to be redirected into a virtual tour of what our school looks like: 

Student Reports:

Every year during the Spring, we conduct student reports on all our students to not only track their well being and progress at our school but their own personal goals as well. As of last year, we've been able to physically mail out reports to our supporters, but due to the outbreak of COVID 19 worldwide this year, our reports have been postponed until further notice. 

Meet Nagina Afgha Mohammad: 

Why it matters:

UNESCO reports that Afghanistan has one of the lowest literacy rates in the world, currently estimated at about 31% of the adult population. The sponsorship and investment in these children can change the entire trajectory of their lives.

An orphan is the Muslim Ummah’s collective responsibility. The Prophet, peace, and blessings are upon him, said, The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this,” and he held his two fingers together to illustrate. (Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 5659)

Please keep in mind that NO donation is too small.

Our Impact Since 2015:

Let Us Come Together 

Zam Zam means to “come together” – so let us come together from all different creeds and cultures to provide these children with the stability, education, food and nourishment, and a safe place to live that they, like all the children of the world, deserve.

7th School Year of IBO!

Hello to all,



We truly hope that this email finds you in the best of health. For those observing Ramadan, may this month serve as a blessed and rewarding time for you and your families. We are reaching out because last year you answered the call of generosity to support the students of The Imam Bukhari Orphan Education Center. We humbly request your support for the 7th school year of IBO.     



For almost a $1/day your sponsorship will provide each student with 

continued

 

daily lunches

new backpacks

uniforms

school fees, 

and 

medical insurance

. Each sponsorship is 

$380 per orphan, per year

 but 

any 

contribution is welcome. This project is 

Zakat-eligible.

 



We desire for you to truly know the child you sponsor — every sponsorship includes a student report; the reports serve as a platform for the children to personally share their hopes, dreams, and experiences. This year, the students have notably included a piece of visual art and communicated some of their favorite things.  



Children are the most vulnerable members of society who need consistent and comprehensive care and support to grow and prosper. Join us in spreading hope, stability, and opportunity through education. 


 


As our in-person fundraising events continue to be cancelled, we are reaching out to you to ensure that we do not leave these children.  From all of us at Zam Zam, thank you for 

bringing education to those in need, one student at a time.

 


 
Humbly,

IBO Update

Happy Friday, Yusuf!

The Imam Bukhari Orphan Education Center was built in 2015 and has never been closed long enough to be renovated. By shutting down the school due to our response to COVID, we were afforded an opportunity to make necessary repairs and complete an overhaul of the infrastructure to ensure a high level of quality and sustainability. This was all done in an effort to ensure the return of our students and staff to a sanitary and safe environment. 


VIDEO: Renovations


Renovations: 

  • Painted Interior and Exterior  
  • Installed New Carpeting and Tile 
  • Refitted Kitchen 
  • Changed Windows and Doors 
  • Re-paved the Driveway 
  • Updated Plumbing System 
  • Updated Electrical System
  •   

*** These improvements also provided jobs for local community artisans, masonries, carpenters, painters, electricians, and plumbers.

Funding:
Through each sponsorship every year there is an allotted amount for the maintenance of the school. Sustainability is important to us so that we can ensure the school can continue to operate safely.

Support: 
While the school has been shut down, our support has not. During Ramadan, we provided over 1,000 Iftar meals each night for the students and their families. We provided them with hand sanitizer, face masks, and soap. During the hot summer months, we provided families with food supplies. 

Reports:
As we mentioned earlier this year, our reporting model was interrupted due to the pandemic. Our registration process for the new school year will begin on November 1st and will have an updated timeline on when we will have those reports ready for all sponsors. We are also aware that some students and their respective families may have relocated to other parts of the country due to the pandemic - as poor living conditions and financial constraints in the capital city continue.
   
We understand that none of this would be possible without your continued support and generosity. From all of us at Zam Zam and the Imam Bukhari Orphan Education Center - Thank you!


Humbly, 

 
The Zam Zam Team 


P.S. If you have not received a direct email from us and you've sponsored a student, it is because we do not have access to your email contact information. If you would like email communication for updates, reports, etc., please send us an email at ibo@zamzamwater.org. Thank you!
