Making Sierra Leone Orphans Smile Again

Drawing a smile on the faces of Sierra Leone orphans, two leading Islamic charity groups have donated millions to guarantee good education and care for those who lost their parents..

“We want to know if foster parents are really ensuring that these orphans go to school and also if they are well taken care of at their respective homes,” Alhaji Osman Dumbuya, the President of the Wellington Muslims Association, told Awareness Times on Tuesday, October 22.

The twin-organizations, Wellington Muslims Association (WMA) and its key donor partner, IHH of Turkey, have donated millions of leones to support more than four hundred orphans in Sierra Leone.

Spreading joy, the donations were handed to orphans during a celebration held at the Secretariat of the Association in Freetown.

During the celebration, Dumbuya assigned the Desk Officer of the Wellington Muslims Association, Mohamed I. Turay, to pay periodical visits to the orphans' homes and schools to monitor their status.

Turay’s visits aim at the surveillance of the orphans academic performance and their living conditions at fosters’ homes.

Dumbuya has also urged guardians to use the money for the benefit of the orphans, adding that WMA's financial support to orphans will continue as long as its donor continues to support them.

Meanwhile, the International Representative of WMA and IHH of Turkey, Deamad Amadu Conteh, alarmed children of their ‘responsibility’ to take academic work seriously and maintain high academic performance.

She added that any student who is not ‘serious’ in his academic performance would be deprived of the association’s support.

About four million of the Sierra Leone six million citizens are Muslim.

In Islam, a Muslim is encouraged to look after and take care of children who have no parents and to treat them justly.

To ill-treat them or to treat them unjustly is one of the worst kinds of oppression that is totally prohibited in Islam.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “I and the one who cares for the orphans excellently will be as close in Paradise as these two fingers of mine!”

When the war started in Bosnia, humanitarian organization IHH was founded in Turkey with the aim to help the Bosnian people.
