WINTER RELIEF
Every Life Needs Warmth
Since the massive 7.3 earthquakes in 2023 about 1.4 million people have been unhoused, making them extremely vulnerable to harsh winter elements. In these dire conditions, focusing on education becomes a challenge. Yet, education is key to breaking the cycle of poverty.
While struggling to provide a warm home how can parents, teachers, or kids even begin to worry about their education?
Many comforts that make our everyday life enjoyable and worth living are taken for granted – your coffee in the morning, your warm dry slippers, heating, or even a cozy robe. This is not the reality for many in these cold months. Instead of their warm homes and woodfire hearths millions of people in Syria and Türkiye are left unhoused and forced to bear the harsh weather in tents.
Education is the most effective and sustainable way to end cycles of poverty. When you donate to MWL you’re donating to the upward social mobility of students in heavily disadvantaged communities. Our team is committed to making a lasting impact on poverty, through education.
Warmth and comfort are essential to facilitating a learning environment. With your support to our Winter Relief program, we can provide warm jackets, boots, pants, gloves, classroom heaters, fuel for heaters, and everything else children and teachers need to succeed in this wintery learning environment. Donate to our Winter Appeals today!

DONATEZakat Al-Mal is an annual requirement for Muslims to donate 2.5% of their income and wealth to a charitable cause

Zakat Facts:

- You only have to pay Zakat on the wealth that you’ve maintained for a year.
- Zakat must be given with the intention that it is for Zakat, not a generic donation.

MWL has been committed to supporting orphans in several countries for over a decade.
Mercy Without Limits’ orphan sponsorship program is designed to guarantee the well-being of each child in our care. Our sponsorship program stands out from others in that we provide children in our care with extensive support, including cash assistance, food, clothing, healthcare services, education, school supplies, psychosocial support, recreational activities, and even early recovery activities for caregivers – all for just $60/month.
You can also choose to sponsor an orphan and their siblings, to ensure every child in the family is provided for. Our program guarantees orphans the opportunity to thrive and grow into empowered, educated, and dedicated members of their community.
You will receive a Child Sponsorship Welcome Email after the first donation is processed. You will also receive quarterly updates through our donor portal*.
*While we strive to provide quarterly updates from our orphans to all sponsors, there may be occasional delays in obtaining updates due to unforeseen circumstances or challenges in remote regions. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

Orphan clothing will make a difference for children beyond the holiday.
There are so many parts of the world where children lack adequate clothing to accommodate for their growth and changes in the seasons. By donating to our orphan clothing initiative, supporters can provide a brand-new set of clothes to a child in need and ensure they get the confidence and comfort everyone deserves. This is a donation that will make an extended difference in a child’s life.
Our teams distribute orphan clothing across the multiple countries we work in. Join us now in making sure children are clothed and cared for.

SEE HOW YOUR MONEY COULD BE SPENT ON SUPPORTING WIDOWS
We believe in facilitating a widow's independence
As the only providers of their families, widows are responsible for caring for their children as well as their own well-being without the help of a partner. MWL facilitates programs that ensure widows have food, shelter and basic necessities for them and their orphaned children.
We also provide vocational training for widows to develop skills they can use to attract revenue and help others. Your contributions can help our resilient women learn sewing, soap production, food production and hair dressing. Our workshops teach widows skills that will allow them to attain self-sufficiency and gain control over their lives.
Your support can also help sustain a widow and her children in the meantime. Providing food baskets or sponsoring one of her orphans helps ease her worries while she gets her life back on track.
A widow is the backbone of her community – when you support her, you support a greater community. Find out how you can help today.

The importance of higher education cannot be denied.
The tools provided through advanced and specialized academics allow students opportunities in life that would otherwise have been impossible. We serve the underserved, including widows, children and those with special needs. Access to education can help those in need lift themselves and their families out of poverty and set the foundation for a brighter future.
Our supporters have set the wheels in motion with their generous donations towards education. There are more people to reach in our journey towards providing access to higher education in underserved communities, and we need your help. MWL’s long term plan is to hire more educators and provide more students with higher education. We are currently providing higher education academics to thousands of students and with your support we can provide to thousands more.
