Child Protection & Family Sponsorship

Supporting families with basic living needs, healthcare and education.

Child Protection, Orphan & Family Sponsorship

UMR’s child protection programs work to ensure children affected by crisis are safe, supported, and given the opportunity to reach their full potential. We do this by strengthening families, preventing abuse, and supporting long-term well-being.

UMR is actively working to address the intertwined challenges of economic instability and child vulnerability in regions including Jordan, Kenya, Gaza, Lebanon, Turkey, Yemen, and Sudan. By combining immediate humanitarian aid with long-term development initiatives, UMR’s comprehensive program seeks to create sustainable, community-wide change.

Children are among the most affected by poverty and conflict, often lacking access to basic necessities. UMR prioritizes child protection, ensuring their safety and fostering their development through targeted support. Beyond meeting urgent needs, UMR implements structured systems that promote long-term stability, enabling children and their families to thrive within more cohesive communities.

The program also emphasizes economic empowerment, offering vocational training and skill-building opportunities that help individuals gain financial independence. These efforts, combined with initiatives to bolster community resilience, aim to strengthen local economies in regions where instability has weakened traditional support structures.

Child Protection Services

In Jordan, Kenya, Yemen, Lebanon, and Turkey, UMR offers safe spaces, psychosocial support, life skills education, and referral pathways for at-risk children. We work with parents, teachers, and local leaders to recognize and respond to protection risks.

Family Sponsorship

To prevent family separation, early marriage, and child labor, UMR provides financial support to at-risk households. This allows families—especially those headed by widows or caring for children with disabilities—to maintain housing, cover school fees, and stay together.

Orphan Sponsorship

Our monthly sponsorship program supports orphans in Gaza, Jordan, Kenya, Turkey, and Lebanon by covering basic needs such as food, education, healthcare, and psychosocial support. Each child’s well-being is closely monitored in coordination with local partners.

Education & Psychosocial Support

UMR integrates education and mental health services to ensure children affected by trauma continue learning and healing. We provide tutoring, school enrollment support, and counseling for vulnerable children, including those with autism or other disabilities.
