The PDS Children’s Home is a safe and loving home for 16 young orphan girls aged 3 to 9. We operate like a family hostel, so the children can keep strong ties with their families through regular visits, monthly Parents’ Days, and spending every December with their relatives. The girls receive quality care from 6 caring matrons, 2 security guards, and a medical team that includes a dentist, general doctor, psychologist, and nutritionist. Every day, all 16 girls study at the PDS Charity School and attend Madrasa classes in the evening. Our goal is to educate these children and raise them to become the future leaders of the PDS Organization and our country as well. We are currently looking for donors and partners to help us care for these girls and build a new home for orphan boys as well.
“A Home for Hope, A Foundation for Life.”
