Qatar Charity (QC) inaugurated an orphan hostel in Tando Muhammad Khan (TMK), a remote and rural area in the Sindh province of Pakistan to provide a safe and secure place for orphans to live and study.
The construction of the orphan hostel came as part of ‘Rofaqa’, an initiative of Qatar Charity for orphan and underprivileged children care, aiming to ensure a better future for them.
The hostel was constructed in cooperation with Pakistan Bait ul mal, a government social welfare body, to benefit 50 children.
This two-floor hostel covers an area of 350 square meters, and has 7 bedrooms, a drawing room, a big dining hall, a big kitchen, and a garden. Qatar Charity also equipped this hostel with bedding, furniture, utensils, and water facilities.
The inauguration of the hostel was attended by many government officials, in addition to Pakistan Bait ul mal officials and many local figures.
MR. Yasir Bhatti, the Deputy Commissioner of TMK stated that Qatar Charity works for the well-being of the TMK district which is one of the most deserving districts of Sindh. “I am pleased and honored to say that Qatar Charity is the only one organization that has constructed an orphan hostel in this deprived district,” he added, thanking the people of Qatar for building the hostel for the most vulnerable segment of the community.
“I highly appreciate the efforts of Qatar Charity for our orphans. This hostel is their shelter, in which they have a quality and comfortable environment,” said Mr. Syed Ehsan Ali Shah, the Assistant Director of Pakistan Bait Ul Mal. He added that there was an old orphanage, which was very difficult to accommodate the children.
The children expressed their overwhelming happiness with this hostel. “I am very happy today that I have found a new home which is very big and has all facilities,” said a 10-year-old orphan Abdul Wajid. “I was living in an old orphan hostel, which was very much congested, and it was very difficult for all of us to focus on our studies,” he indicated, praying to Allah to give reward to the people who built this home for them.
It is worth mentioning that in November 2020, Qatar Charity constructed an orphan hostel in Mirpur Khas district of Sindh to accommodate 100 orphans.
