About Safina

Safina Children Home was started by

Safina Welfare Services to support the

orphaned children left unattended after the

devastating earthquake of October 2005 in

the northern regions of Pakistan. Later on

the services were expanded to accept

children from other parts of the country as

well.

Safina’s Vision

To lay and strengthen the foundation of an

institution where needy orphans are

provided with all the opportunities to

develop themselves into visionary and

progressive leaders in all walks of life.

“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 with kindness, he and I will be close to each other in heaven as these two fingers” said

Prophet Mohammad (s.a.a.w) raising his index finger and middle finger

Accomplishments

“I want to be a soldier”

Waqar belongs to a very

poor family in Azad

Kashmir. He came to Safina after the 2005

earthquake and was admitted in Class 4.

Initially Waqar used to have a lot of difficulty

in coping up with studies. But with hard work

and persistence he managed to always stand

among first 3 positions in his school. Waqar is

now in class 8 of Uswa College, Islamabad and

is progressively on his way to become a

contributing member of the society.

Success Story

1. Daily collective prayers

Ali Naqi came to Safina through a

friend of Safina who found him

abandoned by relatives after the

death of his parents. He couldn’t

pass the exam in his first year after

admission. But determined to succeed, he tried hard and stood

first in the same class next year. Ali has now passed

matriculation with 1st division and has moved to Cadet

College Sihala for further studies.

Success Story

Although Safina was originally established for the children orphaned in the earthquake but, since then, there have

been thousands of children who have been orphaned because of the widespread acts of

violence in the country. Due to the lack of resources, Safina has had to refuse entrance to many promising

children and see their talents wasted. Safina’s immediate need is to accommodate 150+ orphaned children from

troubled areas who are waiting for their turn. The only obstacle in our path is the lack of funds to support them.
