Introducing Our New Site: A Decade of Service, A New Chapter

Introducing Our New Site: A Decade of Service, A New Chapter

After nearly a decade of quietly serving orphans in Indonesia, we've completely rebuilt ussunnah.org from the ground up. Our mission remains the same—100% of your donation goes directly to the children—but now we've made it easier than ever to support them, track your impact, and be part of our community.

Why We Rebuilt

For years, our website was functional but basic. It got the job done, but it didn't reflect the care and attention we put into our programs on the ground. More importantly, it didn't give you—our donors—the tools you deserve to see your impact and stay connected with our work.

We wanted to build something that matched the quality of our programs: clean, transparent, and focused entirely on what matters.

What's New

Instant Account Access

No more passwords to remember. Simply click the profile icon on our homepage, enter your email, and we'll send you a magic link that logs you in instantly.

Click the profile icon to access your account

If you've ever donated to us-Sunnah—whether through our website, LaunchGood, or any other platform—your account is already set up. We've imported your complete donation history so you can see every gift you've ever made.

Your Personal Dashboard

Once logged in, you'll find everything you need in one place:

Your personal account dashboard

Complete Donation History Every gift you've made, organized chronologically with full details. See which campaigns you've supported, when you donated, and how your contributions have added up over time.

Tax Receipts On Demand No more waiting for year-end receipts. Download any receipt instantly, anytime you need it. Perfect for tax season or just for your records.

Subscription Management If you're a monthly donor, you can view and manage your recurring gifts directly from your dashboard. Update payment methods, adjust amounts, or view your giving schedule.

Win a FREE Umrah Trip

We've launched a referral program with a prize that matters to our community.

Track your referrals and compete for Umrah

How it works:

  1. Get your unique referral link from your dashboard
  2. Share it with friends, family, and on social media
  3. When someone donates using your link, you earn entries
  4. Top referrers will win an all-expenses-paid Umrah trip

The leaderboard shows where you stand among all referrers. The more you share, the better your chances. And even if you don't win, every referral means more children fed—which is the real reward.

Zakat, Fidyah & Kaffarah Calculators

Fulfilling your religious obligations shouldn't require guesswork. Our new calculators help you determine exact amounts with confidence.

Calculate your Zakat with precision

Zakat Calculator Enter your assets—savings, gold, silver, investments, business goods—and get your precise zakat obligation. The calculator handles nisab thresholds automatically and deducts liabilities to give you an accurate figure.

Fidyah Calculator If you're unable to fast during Ramadan due to chronic illness, old age, or pregnancy, calculate your fidyah payment based on current local food costs.

Kaffarah Calculator For those who need to make expiation for deliberately broken fasts, our calculator shows the required amount and explains your options.

Each calculator connects directly to donation—calculate your amount and fulfill your obligation in one seamless flow.

Real-Time Campaign Progress

Our campaign pages now show live progress toward our goals. For our orphan feeding program, you can see:

  • Current month's donations toward our monthly goal
  • Number of active monthly donors supporting the program
  • Progress visualization that updates as donations come in

This transparency lets you see exactly where we stand and how your gift moves us forward. When we're close to our goal, you can help push us over the line.

Improved Mobile Experience

The entire site is now fully responsive. Whether you're on your phone during Friday prayers, on a tablet at home, or on a desktop at work—everything works beautifully.

  • Donate on the go with a streamlined mobile checkout
  • Check your account from anywhere
  • Share referral links directly from your phone
  • Calculate zakat while reviewing your assets

Faster, More Reliable

We rebuilt the site using modern technology:

  • Pages load in under a second
  • Donation checkout is smoother with fewer steps
  • Better error handling so you always know what's happening
  • Improved uptime with redundant infrastructure

What Hasn't Changed

100% Donation Policy

Every dollar you donate still goes directly to the children. Our operational costs—this website included—are covered separately through income from our waqf (endowment). This has been our policy since 2014, and it will never change.

Our Neighborhood-First Approach

We still believe in small, intimate, personal help at the neighborhood level. Our local volunteers—unpaid community members who live among the orphans—package and distribute food monthly. No expensive international staff. No overhead eating into your donation.

$40 Feeds an Orphan for a Month

The core of our program remains unchanged. For just $40 per month, you provide complete food support for one orphan child in Indonesia. That's less than $1.35 per day to ensure a child has nutritious daily meals.

Deep Personal Relationships

Our volunteers still know each family personally. They live in the same neighborhoods, attend the same mosques, and respond immediately when needs arise. This personal connection is what makes our model work—and it's something no large charity can replicate.

Our Goals for 2025

We currently raise about $6,000 per month for our orphan feeding program. Our goal is to reach $10,000 per month so we can expand to more neighborhoods and feed more children.

With just 100 more monthly donors at $40/month, we can reach this goal.

That's 100 people deciding that $1.35/day is worth ensuring a child has food.

Will you be one of them?

Get Started

  2. Click the profile icon in the top right

Thank You

To everyone who has supported us over the past decade: thank you. Every meal served, every child fed, every family helped—it's because of you.

This new site is our way of honoring that trust. We hope you'll find it useful, and we hope you'll continue this journey with us.
