Case Study Information

“I and the one who looks after an orphan will be like this in Paradise”  and he pointed with his index and middle fingers held close together.
[Sahih Bukhari]

Afghanistan has one of the highest rates of childhood orphaning in the world  a legacy of four decades of conflict, displacement, and loss. Millions of children have lost one or both parents. Many are unaccompanied, separated from family, or living in extreme poverty with elderly grandparents or struggling single mothers.

ORCD’s orphan and child welfare programmes provide food, shelter, education, and psychosocial care  giving children not just survival, but the possibility of a future.
