Is it permissible and is it obligatory to inform the sister, and is there a specific formula for donating the reward of sponsoring an orphan to her?

Sponsoring an orphan is one of the best acts of drawing closer to Allah. If the sponsor intends the reward to be for someone else, the intention in the heart is sufficient. If he verbalizes it, that is good, otherwise, the intention alone is sufficient.
