What are the children's names when they were found?
They have no names when they are found. At the police station they choose a random name for the child and fictional names for father. The Ministry of Health (MOH) then gives a random name for the mother.
Can I sponsor a child in an orphanage, or do I need to raise them at home?
Yes, you have the option to sponsor a child in an orphanage through a financial sponsorship program. However, we do not have the details of the procedures since Yalla Kafala's main focus is to raise awareness about child kafala at home. If you wish to proceed with sponsorship, you will have to personally visit an orphanage and select the child you wish to sponsor. You can also learn more about the differences between financial sponsorship and kafala at home here:
What is the legal form of writing an Usufruct, Bare Ownership or Gift agreement?
