In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most merciful
Treat not the orphan with oppression (Surah Ad-Duha, verse: 9).
And perform As-Salat and give Zakat, and lend to Allah a goodly loan. And whatever good you send before you for yourselves, you will certainly find it with Allah, better and greater in reward. And seek Forgiveness of Allah. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful (Surah Al-Muzzammil, verse: 20).
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “I and the sponsor of an orphan will be together in Paradise like this ” (and the Prophet held two Fingers close together). Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 1282
Bangladesh is a thickly populated, flood-devastated country of 140 million people, and 40 million live on less than $1 a day. The orphans from poor and distressed families are deprived of their rights and are forced to survive in destitute conditions, homeless, neglected, and uncared for. They do not get opportunities to get an education according to their talent. With a view to mitigate their sufferings, and to ensure the quality of education, food, health, skills and help them to earn a livelihood like the other segments of the community, Kamalapur Orphanage Project started its operation in the year 2001 with 30 orphans in a remote area of Bangladesh. As time progressed, we constructed a separate building for orphan girls, started accommodating more orphans (both boys and girls), and recruited more orphans & destitute children to our education system (Kindergarten, Islamic School, Computer Training, and Vocational Education) each year.
Education & Training: Run a full-time Kindergarten School (pre-kg – grade 5) with approximately 150 orphans & destitute children and follows the public curriculum. It also runs a part-time Computer Training Course for the orphans. The House Tutors keep track of how the orphans progress with the institutions.
Food: The meals given to orphans are carefully monitored for nutrition content to ensure they get a balanced diet. Hygiene awareness training is organized for Orphanage teachers and staff. Special food is served on two Eid days of the Islamic calendar.
Accommodation and clothing: All the orphans including some destitute children are being accommodated in the Orphanage dormitory building. A good environment is created in the Orphanages including good sanitation.
Medical Facilities: A health checkup by a medical practitioner takes place monthly. Treatment and clinical services are arranged in emergencies
Psychology: To improve the morale of the orphans and to generate enthusiasm for their regular activities, various stimulating events are arranged for orphans.
Recreation: Newspapers, magazines, and storybooks are kept in the orphanage library. Visits to places of interest are organized. Annual sports events are also organized for orphans.
