This project will help Orphan Children inside Pakistan to get excess to quality education and living through a chain of Orphan Care Homes in different localities across Pakistan. According to reports, there are more than 4.5 million orphans in Pakistan, thus, Aghosh Homes provide shelter, food, clothes, education, recreational activities, physical/mental development and contributes in overall/holistic development of an orphan kid.

Challenge

According to estimates, Pakistan hosts more than 4.5 million orphans. Natural calamities (floods and earthquakes), massive killings due to terrorism and a high influx of refugees from neighboring countries have contributed to this number. Due to poverty and lack of government owned orphanages, these children are deprived of education and end up on streets working as child labor, caught up by child traffickers and are being exposed to physical, sexual, mental and drug abuse on streets.

Long-Term Impact

By taking full responsibility for children, building their character and providing them all the opportunities to get higher education, not only are we securing the future of homeless children, but we are giving hope to the families. Society will get powerful professionals who were once vulnerable street children. We hope these children will not only be benefiting their selves and their families but will also become the hope for other orphans and vulnerable children in the future.
