Alkhidmat taking care of more than 2,200 orphans in Karachi: Naveed Ali Baig

Alkhidmat Karachi is taking care of 2,200 orphans in Karachi through its Orphan Support Program, according to Naveed Ali Baig, CEO Alkhidmat Karachi. Families of orphans were being supported with PKR 5,500 every month and PKR 66,000 every year through the Orphan Family Support Program which is part of the overarching Orphan Support Program, the other part being the Aghosh Homes project. Naveed Ali said that orphans under Alkhidmat’s care were also being provided religious and moral guidance through programs conducted on special days such as World Haya Day (Modesty Day), World Handwashing day, Iqbal Day, Quaid Day and Ramadan. Besides, these children are taken on study tours to historical places as well as on recreational trips for entertainment as part of a complete program of education and moral guidance. During the two Eids too, these children are not forgotten and Alkhidmat arranges gifts for them so that they can share in the celebrations. Every year before Eid-ul-Fitr, Alkhidmat takes these kids along with their mothers and guardians to a leading shopping store and lets them buy Eid gifts for themselves. This is to let them experience the joy of shopping and the excitement of Eid. This year Gift Vouchers worth PKR 6,500 have been arranged for each child. Naveed Ali stressed on the noble purposes of this effort which has seen orphan children achieve educational success and high positions in life, and appealed to those with the means to come forward and assist Alkhidmat Karachi in its efforts for orphans.
