Although the true meaning of orphan care has a comprehensive meaning and means care at all social, economic and motivational levels, the vast majority of sponsorships are only material sponsorships, and all efforts to improve this concept are still scattered and need further planning and organization. The supervisors and the field staff in these institutions are in dire need of rehabilitation of these roles scientifically, culturally and practically. It is noted that there is a scarcity of resources and lack of accurate statistics in the number of orphans, as well as a lack of interest in scientific research and specialized studies.

The absence of specialization in the work of organizations and charities working in this field, with weak mechanisms of coordination and communication between them, led to poor productivity and efficiency of these institutions.

On the other hand, the issue of the failure to transfer funds from donors to orphans in some countries, as well as the difficulty of access to them in conflict areas is a major obstacle to orphanages to provide services to the needy, a fundamental point in need of real solutions.

Hence, the idea of ​​holding a scientific conference to discuss the frameworks to provide solutions through systematic studies and research from specialists to improve the performance of orphanages, and the development of services provided to orphans and widows, and benefit from local experiences and global systems and care. The most important orphan issues in the world are currently being addressed in an academic, social, economic and educational manner, accompanied by an exhibition of best practices and models in the field of innovative solutions to the challenges and difficulties faced by orphans and their families. It also examines the problems and obstacles facing orphans in the Islamic and Arab worlds, and discusses frameworks to address these problems, and to present proposals for the preparation of a moral and professional charter for workers in the field.

The importance of the conference is reflected in:

• Provide a platform for discussion and exchange of views between the academic and scientific sectors and the applied humanitarian institutions in the field of orphans and widows
• Opening the way for humanitarian institutions to present their views derived from reality and to introduce them to new problems that increase their chances of being addressed in scientific curricula according to academic standards.
• The use of standard scientific papers and the court and open the way to generalize the benefits resulting from them.
