Orphans in South Asia and Africa suffer the most hardship because of the lack of governmental programs to address their educational needs and economic welfare.
Often, orphans in these regions are supported by their local community at a bare minimum subsistence level. The untapped potential of these children to become contributing, law-abiding citizens of their country is severely hampered by a lack of educational and economic opportunity.
The main objectives of this project are to:
meet the basic survival needs of orphan children
provide financial support for basic and continuing education
monitor their progress in their educational goals
remove obstacles that hinder their progress
This process will help them become contributing, law-abiding citizens of their respective societies. To promote an economically stable family life and healthy environment at home, a monthly allowance is given to widowed mothers. The child is no longer forced to work to supplement the family income to the detriment of their own educational goals.
This monumental task requires a large team of highly dedicated individuals who understand the rewards of serving orphans. Hidaya follows a rigorous selection and training process to ensure they are ready to take on the challenges of this slow and tedious task.
Hidaya Trust has taken on the challenge to reach out to these orphaned children and show them that there are people in this world who care about their economic and educational well-being.
Depending on the region, the cost of this program ranges from $30 to $50 per month.
Your donation in support of this noble cause can help an orphan child lead a productive life – a worthwhile cause in this world and in the hereafter.
The sister organization of Hidaya Trust, Hidaya Foundation was awarded Sitara-i-Eisaar (Star of Sacrifice) by the Government of Pakistan, in recognition of the results-oriented relief efforts of both the organizations during the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan. It was awarded during a special ceremony held at the Embassy of Pakistan in Washington, DC.
In Keeping with our commitment to the communities in which Hidaya Trust operates, it hires its work force as an equal opportunity employer. It means that employment decisions are based on merit and business needs and not on race, color, status in the society, ancestry, sex, age, religion, creed and marital status.
