PROJEK SINAR IHSAN - FOSTERING
Every child deserves a place to call home.
Unfortunately, not every child has one.
As a foster parent, you would experience the joy of offering safety, stability and nurturance to children and young persons who need it the most: those who have been abused, neglected or even abandoned.
Muhammadiyah Association has been officially appointed as the 5th Fostering Agency by the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) on 1 August 2019, to grow foster care in the community.
Under the name Projek Sinar Ihsan (translated as ‘Light of Empathy’), our rallying call to the community is captured through the tagline “Ihsan Digalas, Ihsan Dibalas” (translated as ‘Empathy Embraced, Empathy Rewarded)’. In essence, it means whoever shows the willingness to take care of children in need with empathy and sincerity, will receive spiritual benefits and blessings in return.
Project Sinar Ihsan reflects the commitment of Muhammadiyah Association to the belief that the best care for vulnerable children lies within a safe and stable family environment. Together with other community partners and MSF, we want to bring the important message of the need for foster care to our community, and encourage more families to step forward to care for these children in need.

Fostering in Islam?
The Fatwa Committee opines that adopting a child for families who are capable and ready to do so is a need that we cannot afford to ignore. Islam is a religion of rahmah (compassion)…
