Yatama Program

Stand in for a father who is gone

Yatama is our orphan sponsorship program. A monthly gift from you covers food, school and care for one child in Chitral — and you can follow where every rupee went.

How it works

From a family's request to a child's school bag

  1. The family registers

    A mother or guardian fills the form and gives the child's papers. Each child gets a program ID.

  2. We verify

    Our officer checks the documents and visits the home before anything is approved.

  3. You sponsor

    You choose a monthly amount. We match your gift with an approved child who is waiting.

  4. Support reaches the guardian

    Each month the amount is paid to the guardian and recorded with a reference.

  5. You see the progress

    School attendance, results and field-visit notes appear in your donor account.

What your sponsorship covers

More than a monthly payment

Food and daily needs

Monthly support paid to the guardian for the child's food and clothing.

School

1 of our 1 children are in school. Fees, books and uniform are tracked for each one.

Home visits

A field officer visits every family to check the support is reaching the child.

Care when needed

Children who are unwell are referred to our Medical team and camps.

Children are never put on display

We do not publish names, photographs or addresses of the children. A sponsor sees only a first name, age, area and school progress, inside their own account. Documents stay in private storage and every view by staff is recorded.

For families

Register an orphaned child

If you are raising a child whose father has died, fill the Dast-e-Asra Yatama form. There is no fee, and no agent is needed.
