40,000 Orphans Celebrate Iftar in Nigeria

The month of Ramadan is a special time that brings together people from all around the world to share and show solidarity. As the Care Association, we shared this special month's joy with our little brothers and sisters by delivering an iftar meal to a total of 40,000 orphans, both in our orphanage and other orphanages in Nigeria's Kano State.

The Capital of Nigerian Muslims, Home to Orphans

Kano State in Nigeria, especially the Yankaba region, has a high population of orphans. The majority of the region's population is made up of Muslims, and these people attach great importance to orphans. This value placed on orphans is a reflection of the solidarity culture of the Muslim community.

However, migrations from Christian states also have a significant impact on the increase in orphans. Kano is known as the capital of Nigerian Muslims and has become a center where orphans from surrounding Christian states and Niger take refuge.

In the Yankaba region, where orphans are concentrated, not only housing problems but also education and health services are experienced. Local and international organizations continue to work to help the region cope with these problems.

40,000 Orphan Iftar Organization

The Care Association did not remain indifferent to this high population of orphans and opened an orphanage by renting a building in Kano State. With the beginning of the Ramadan month, a total of 40,000 orphans, both in the orphanage and outside, were provided with an iftar meal. Thanks to this special organization, smiles appeared on the faces of orphans and the blessing of Ramadan was shared.

Solidarity, Mutual Assistance, and Thanks

The Care Association aimed to highlight the spirit of solidarity and mutual assistance during this blessed Ramadan month. Our iftar meals held in the orphanage in Kano State were also realized with this intention and the contributions of our donors.

This meaningful event carried out by the Care Association in Nigeria, together with the aid activities we carry out in our country and other countries, was a beautiful example reflecting the spirit of solidarity and mutual assistance. We would like to thank our donors who supported us during the Ramadan month.

“We are just a means.”
