This program embark on a mission that goes beyond just providing for the physical needs of orphaned and vulnerable children. Our program, aptly named "OVC," seeks to improve the well-being of these children by offering them a comprehensive array of services, including social support, psychological care, and protection, all within the safety of their homes and communities. In tandem with an economic empowerment initiative, we aim to uplift the economic status of the caregivers and households responsible for these children, creating a sustainable support system that guarantees their welfare.
A Holistic Approach: Nurturing Body and Soul
Our program is built on the foundation of holistic care, addressing not only the immediate needs of these children but also the long-term economic stability of their caregivers. We believe that true transformation begins when every aspect of a child's life is nurtured and secured. By providing training, resources, and opportunities for income generation, we ensure that caregivers can provide a stable and loving environment for the children in their care.
Abu Hurairah (RA) reports that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) stated”Whoever caresses the head of an orphan (in affection), solely for the sake of Allah, a good deed will be written to his account for every hair over which he passed his hand, and whoever treated an orphan (boy or girl) with goodness and kindness, he and I will be close to each-other in Heaven as these two fingers” The Prophet (SAW) made a gesture with his fingers as explained above.
- Access to Social Services -We collaborate with local authorities and agencies to provide access to essential social services, including healthcare, education, and nutrition. Every child deserves the chance to grow, learn, and thrive.
- Food & Shelter - We were the majorly part of the pioneering team that made sure the lovely kids in Mama Dhahabu Care Centre have a two-storey building to call home as well ensure that they have food to eat through collaboration with well-wishers who are captivated by our initiative.
- Protection Within Communities -We create safe spaces within communities where children can flourish, protected from harm. Community engagement is key to building a protective network around these vulnerable young souls.
Together, we can make a profound difference in the lives of orphaned and vulnerable children, ensuring they not only survive but thrive.
