Testimonials Our sponsor said

I grew up in a family where sharing with others was one of the values handed down from generation to generation. My grandparents and parents always emphasized sharing and made a difference in the lives of many families. Sharing is a value that has stayed with me, and that’s why I chose to do my bit by helping to improve the life of 9-year-old Houda. Education is important to me. Helping Houda get an education is one of the greatest gifts you can give her. When I read about the Alyatim association’s project, I immediately got on board. The business model appealed to me, as did the whole sponsorship application process and the follow-up that takes place with regard to orphans and donations. What’s more, I had the opportunity to talk to a member of the management team, who answered my questions to my satisfaction. I received information about Houda and her photo. She even sent me a video to thank me. What a wonderful gesture! I invite everyone to support the Alyatim association. It’s a reliable and serious association. My goal is to be able to sponsor other children in the future through Alyatim.

I’ve been lucky enough to sponsor an orphaned child for almost two years now, and I think my life has become more meaningful since then. Indeed, I believe that the purpose of our existence in this world is not just to live for ourselves, to follow the current trend to be individualistic and to pursue only our own needs and desires, but to care about others and to help our fellow man as much as we can. I also find that $50 a month is a paltry amount that I can spend in the blink of an eye on frivolous things, when that amount can go a long way towards improving the life of a helpless, bewildered child facing adversity after the loss of a loved one. This frail being must rise above his grief, must arm himself with courage and determination to try to cope, which is not an easy thing to do. I chose the “Alyatim Association for Orphans” because I’m impressed by its business model, which has all the ingredients to guarantee transparency, integrity and, above all, safeguard the dignity of the people benefiting from the donations. I’d like to thank the association’s talented team for their excellent work, and I’d like to thank them for giving me this opportunity. I would also like to thank the godmothers and godfathers and everyone who contributes in any way to the comfort of orphaned children.

Assalmou Alaykum, many thanks to you as the organizer of this initiative as well as to all the donors, these children will have hearts full of joy, as I too went through this stage in the first year of elementary school when I had high myopia while being a needy orphan, it was a teacher who noticed my visual problem as I was sitting in the front row, but I would get up from my seat to the blackboard so I could see and return to my seat to write. The cost of my first consultation and my glasses were paid for by the school. It may have been my teacher who paid for the whole thing, or it may have been someone else, but it was a new step for me, and the glasses didn’t solve my problem, but at least they helped me get around, I was exempt from doing sports at school, and when I had to take notes on the blackboard, there was always someone who did it for me, and I’m very grateful. It’s true that giving one’s time, money or offering a free service makes our soul grow, and it’s always a sign of a generous heart.

Perfect considerations.

I grew up in a small village in southern Morocco in very, very modest conditions. The village seemed vast and enormous to me during my childhood because it was the only place I knew on earth. We walked 2 km to school, sometimes barefoot. When I was 12, I had to leave the village for a nearby town to continue my studies. At the time, the village seemed insignificant compared to the size of the town. I remember, as if it were yesterday, the day of the trip when my father took my hand and accompanied me to the boarding school. When I was 18, I lost my father, may Allah bless him! I was still lucky to have him with me until that age. I was always asking myself questions like: what if I’d lost him before? What would my fate be? Would I be where I am now: a university graduate, living in Canada, with good living conditions? I keep thinking about the thousands, not to say millions, of little children who weren’t so lucky to have a dad to hold their hand and take them to school. I could well be one of them! These thoughts were constantly running through my head until the day I learned about the Alyatim For Orphans project. Thanks to this association, I have sponsored two little girls in a rural area that bears a striking resemblance to my home village. Me, a tough guy to make cry, I was in tears with a mixed feeling of joy, nostalgia and compassion when I visited them 2 years ago. This sponsorship is by far my greatest achievement. It gives me a sense of existence and satisfaction that I feel nowhere else.

Thank you to Alyatim for guiding me to this light and Thank you for the support and guidance you give to my two little girls!
