Kayan Association has the right to raise our hat high for everything it provides to its orphan children, on this International Children’s Day.
Who are the children of Kayan Association?
They are “children” who God Almighty willed that they should exist in life “of unknown parentage” with neither a mother nor a father known to them. A special fatwa was issued to them by His Eminence Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Baz, may God have mercy on him, which read: (Those whose lineage is unknown are subject to the rule of an orphan due to the loss of their parents. Rather, they are more in need of care and care from those of known lineage because they do not know a relative to whom they can turn when necessary.
Kayan Orphan Society aims to excel in developing and empowering orphans with special circumstances and improving their quality of life, so that they can be active members of society. Therefore, the Association has adopted many initiatives and programs that empower its orphans and improve their lives, through a number of initiatives and programs, including:
“Quality of Life Program.”
Which aims to develop and support the psychological and social capabilities of Kayan’s beneficiaries, which achieves stability and societal integration for them, and through which psychological and social counseling is provided to them and to those who care for them, from sponsoring families. The association seeks the assistance of specialized psychological centers for this. The duration of the program is a full year and targets 50 male and female children.
The association also provides its children with many training courses, community participation, programs and projects from which approximately 792 beneficiaries have benefited.
To empower “orphan children religiously,” and in cooperation with the “Alams” library, the “Names of God for Children” program was presented: The Seeing – the Hearing – the Sustainer – the Healer – the Preserver – the Most Merciful, based on the principle that if a child knows his Lord, he loves him, and if he loves him, he obeys Him. . This program has many benefits, including: – That the child gets to know God from his saying: (And to God belong the most beautiful names, so call upon Him by them) and so he believes in his oneness. And to glorify God in himself because of his strength and ability he learns. He develops a feeling that God Almighty is watching him if he knows that He is All-Hearing and All-Seeing. If the child knows that God is the Healer, the Sustainer, the Preserver, and the Most Merciful, he trusts in God to fulfill all his affairs, and thus belief is mixed with his life and his morals are strengthened.
There is also an ongoing series of educational courses “to educate the mother and child” offered monthly, and many have benefited from them. The “Wishes Fulfillment” program was also implemented for our children in foster families, with 25 attendees, and the wishes of 17 sons and daughters were fulfilled.

With the aim of instilling financial values, planning skills, and awareness of money management, investment, and entrepreneurial work, teaching them buying and selling processes, instilling self-confidence, and training them on how to deal with the public, the children were trained on the “Riyadi Kayan” program, which aims to raise financial awareness competencies, enhance the concepts of saving and smart spending, and keep pace with the 2030 economic vision. An exhibition of their work was held for them, where they practiced the buying and selling process themselves. This project received great demand from the orphans.
