Notes
  1. 1) Your khums due date is the first day you started your job or business. If you are retired or not in employment, then you can agree a khums due date with a representative of the marja'a, or calculate separate khums years for each profit that you make, from the date you made that profit.
  2. 2) The khums of commercial commodities and real estate(s) which are intended for trading, should be paid in accordance with their current market value, even if they were bought with profits which a year has elapsed on, unless the price at which they were bought is higher than the current value.
  3. 3) If the calculations show that the amount of khums due is negative as a result of sustenance debts, then the amount of the sustenance debt equivalent to the amount of khums due for the rest of the item is calculated and excluded.
  4. 4) If sustenance debts are fully repaid in the financial year, this amount is excluded from the profits.
  5. 5) Possessions which are not subject to khums are:
    1. a. Possessions owned through inheritance:
    2. i. Cash

Our sponsorship program goes beyond the bare minimum, providing comprehensive care, support and opportunities that enable orphaned children to pursue their dreams as well as feel safe and secure.

Our monthly child sponsorship amount has recently increased from $70 to $75 due to rising living expenses in Iraq and changes in exchange rates. This adjustment ensures that we can continue to provide comprehensive support for orphaned children, lifting them out of poverty.

Sponsorship

Al-Ayn’s Orphaned Child Sponsorship program is a robust initiative that helps care for thousands of orphaned children in Iraq. The program offers three sponsorship packages that provide varying levels of financial assistance. The standard sponsorship package helps cover the costs of basic necessities like food, clothing, medical care, shelter and academic assistance.

Every orphaned child registered with Al-Ayn is eligible to receive this basic support. Increased levels of sponsorship provide eligible orphaned children further assistance in the form of additional educational support for the academically gifted, psychological rehab for victims of terrorism and supplementary medical assistance for those eligible for the medical sponsorship.

The Process

Our program was designed with mechanisms in place to help ensure the eligibility of applicants. When a child applies to the program, we conduct extensive research to determine if they are in genuine need of assistance.

We evaluate their circumstances, conduct interviews and then cross-reference information gathered from multiple sources. In addition, upon acceptance, we employ follow-up protocols in the form of regular field visits to monitor the child’s well-being and document any notable changes in circumstances.

Distribution

We employ various measures to ensure donations are stewarded properly and reach recipients in their entirety.

Al-Ayn distributes funds on a monthly basis to the orphaned child’s mother or legal guardian. Transactions are handled in a professional manner and privacy is respected. During that time, the mother or guardian is free to express any issues or concerns directly to a representative.

Types of Sponsorship

Standard Sponsorship ($75 a month):

The standard sponsorship package provides enough financial assistance to cover the costs of basic necessities. $75 is generally determined as the minimum monetary amount required to lift a child out of poverty in Iraq.

FAQs

Why has the monthly sponsorship cost increased?

Our monthly child sponsorship amount has recently increased from $70 to $75 due to rising living expenses in Iraq and changes in exchange rates. This adjustment ensures that we can continue to provide comprehensive support for orphaned children, lifting them out of poverty.

Any new sponsorship request made on or after March 15, 2024 will be processed at the new monthly amount.

Existing sponsors (those who requested to sponsor a child before March 15, 2024) will be contacted within the next few weeks to discuss the next steps and the option to increase their monthly payment.

Please note, if existing sponsors choose not to increase their monthly sponsorship amount, they will still be supporting the same child, but their contribution will not fully cover the child’s sponsorship. Al-Ayn will utilise other donations to ensure the child receives the full support required.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
