Sponsoring a child is about giving them an opportunity, not simply meeting a need. For a child living with a disability, the right support can make everyday challenges easier and open doors that may otherwise remain closed.
Your sponsorship helps create a positive environment where children can build confidence, learn at their own pace and work towards greater independence.
Families caring for a disabled child can face financial pressure alongside the everyday challenges of providing specialist support. Your kindness can help ease that burden and give a child access to opportunities their family may struggle to provide alone.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Said:
"Whoever does not show mercy to our young ones and does not recognise the rights of our elders is not one of us. - Sunan Abi Dawud 4943"
Zobia Trust supports children with physical, sensory and learning disabilities in Mirpur, Azad Kashmir. Many come from low-income families where specialist education and support are difficult to access.
These are children with their own personalities, hopes and abilities. Some need help with communication. Others need support with movement, learning or everyday activities.
Rather than focusing on what a child cannot do, sponsorship helps create opportunities for them to discover what they can do.
Your support contributes towards the wider programme around each child. Depending on their individual needs, this may include education, specialist therapies, mobility support, medical care and family welfare.
Every child's journey is different, so the support they receive is shaped around their circumstances and development.
A child's development does not follow a calendar. The opportunity to learn, communicate and develop new skills is important throughout childhood.
Starting a sponsorship today can help provide continuity during these important years. Your regular support gives the programme a more dependable source of funding, helping children continue their learning and development without unnecessary interruptions.
You can sponsor a child at any time of the year. Whether you choose a monthly sponsorship or a one-off donation, your decision to give can become part of a child's journey.
Your sponsorship becomes part of the support surrounding a child - helping provide the resources and services needed to give them a meaningful opportunity to develop.
Zobia Trust operates special schools in Mirpur, Azad Kashmir, bringing education and specialist support together for children with disabilities.
Behind every sponsorship is a child working towards their own milestones.

These achievements take patience and consistent support. Your contribution helps make that journey possible.
