Orphan support program

In the past 20 years Pakistan has suffered more than 170,000 casualties in natural calamities, political violence and terrorism. While immediate relief is of primary concern of most organizations, not many measures are taken for long-term rehabilitation of the affected.

Sources told us that there are more than 4 MM orphan children in Pakistan. Orphan support program is to take care few of them in different cities of Pakistan and AJK.

Equal Educational Opportunities to Orphans

Due to financial instability, young orphans are often forced to earn and feed their families. KDF ensures same educational privileges for them as would be if their parents were alive.

Sustainability of Earning

During the educational years of the orphaned children, KDF provides a stipend to the families to compensate for the amount the child would be earning if s/he was not studying. Once education is complete, KDF helps him/her find a respectable profession so that sustainable development can be ensured.

Counselling & Coaching

We meet the enrolled orphans once every quarter and provide them education fees for the next 3 months, along with individual counseling sessions for coaching and guidance in their academic and personal lives. Moreover, sports competitions are also organized to interact with the students on a personal level and appreciate talented students for their extraordinary abilities. Students who perform well in annual exams are specially acknowledged. Also, we organize special sessions for weak students before their annual exams.

Non Financial Support

In Ramadan, families of the orphans are provided food packages, and on Eid we give them Eid gifts. On Christmas, Christian orphans are given presents too.

Achievements

Since its inception in 2007, 189 orphans have benefited from the program in Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Attock, Nowshera, Charsadda, and Muzaffarabad. In 2015-2017 alone, the Orphan Support Program has supported 33 orphans in their education, small business setup and marriage arrangements. KDF does not just believe in quantity of numbers, but also the effort put into each individual case and the quality of output. Following this ideology, children are encouraged to study in private institutions. Since the financial burdens are born by KDF, better quality of education is appreciated.

KDF believes in constant human development and growth, and the Orphan Support Program is a link in the same chain that connects the last piece of the puzzle of disaster management: prevention, immediate relief and long-term rehabilitation. Orphans are supported for their education till adulthood; once an orphan turns 18 s/he is delisted from the program and an amount of money is further extended for the purpose of higher education, seed fund for a small business or marriage arrangements.
