Caring for the Future of Our Children
Orphan Support
Extending Care Beyond Shelter , Supporting Orphans Across Lahore
“I and the one who looks after an orphan will be together in Paradise like this.”
Prophet Muhammad (Sahih Bukhari)
(He held his index and middle fingers together to show how close they will be in Jannah)
Project-Based Support – Compassion in Action
At Tasneem Foundation, our support for orphans is designed to be purposeful, flexible, and deeply compassionate. We understand that children who have lost one or both parents face not only financial challenges but also emotional ones and that every orphan has a different story, living arrangement, and need.
Rather than providing generic aid, we design year-round, project-based support that caters to the actual and seasonal needs of orphaned children, whether they reside in orphanages or with relatives.
Key Projects We Run Throughout the Year Include:
🧥 Winter Warmth Drives
During the harsh winter months, we provide warm jackets, blankets, socks, gloves, and caps to keep the children safe and healthy.
🛏 Essential Household Items
We supply items such as mattresses, pillows, fans, heaters, and basic furniture to orphan homes and guardians who lack them.
🍽 Ramadan Rashan & Iftar Drives
We deliver food packs to orphanages and households, and organize community iftars to share the blessings of Ramadan with those who often go unnoticed.
🎁 Eid Gifts & Celebrations
On Eid, we make sure no orphan feels left out. New clothes, shoes, sweet treats, and small gifts are distributed with love.
🎈 Joyful Events & Activities
From arts and crafts to fun days and outings, we bring joy into the lives of children who deserve to laugh, play, and feel seen.
These projects are planned after regular communication with orphanages and guardians, ensuring we respond to their current, practical needs rather than assuming what’s needed.
Who We Support
At Tasneem Foundation, we recognize that not all orphans live in orphanages. Our support reaches both institutional and home-based care systems:
🏠 Children Living in Orphan Homes (Lahore)
We support several orphan homes across Lahore by assisting them with:
- Monthly food and hygiene supplies
- Provision of appliances, bedding, and basic furniture
- Utility bill support during challenging seasons (such as winter or heatwaves)
- Organizing Ramadan, Eid, and seasonal drives that create joyful and dignified experiences for the children
We work closely with orphanage staff to evaluate needs regularly, making sure our support evolves as the children grow and circumstances change.
👨👩👧👦 Orphans Living with Extended Family
Many orphaned children are raised by widowed mothers, grandparents, or close relatives households often under significant financial pressure. These families are frequently overlooked in large-scale support initiatives.
We step in to support these children through:
- Monthly ration and basic essentials
- Assistance with school fees, books, and uniforms
- Medical costs and emergency aid
- Seasonal gift packs during Eid, winter, or other special times
This dual approach allows us to provide care in both institutional and household settings ensuring that no child is left behind, regardless of where they live.
Confidentiality with Compassion
Each child and family supported by Tasneem Foundation is personally verified through home or site visits. We keep detailed profiles that include:
- Number of family members
- Guardian’s income and occupation
- Educational background
- Urgent and ongoing needs
However, we believe in protecting the dignity and emotional well-being of the children. For this reason:
- We do not display names or photos of the children or guardians publicly
- We do share anonymized profiles with general data (e.g., "Girl, age 10, living with widowed mother, studying in Grade 5") on our website
- If a donor wishes to sponsor a child long-term, we will share full details privately and respectfully, with consent from the guardian
Transparency & Compassion
- Every burial is documented and logged
- We maintain respectful records for donor accountability
- Family names and deceased identities are handled with utmost confidentiality
- No photos or public posts are shared out of respect for the privacy of the deceased
How You Can Help
Sponsor a Child
Commit to supporting an orphan monthly by covering school, food, or personal needs. You’ll receive updates and can follow their journey privately.
Support a Project
Choose a seasonal campaign like winter wear, school kits, or Ramadan drives and make a one-time contribution that directly benefits many children.
Raise Awareness
Share our mission with your community, friends, or workplace. Sometimes, your voice can open doors to more support than you know.
Send a Letter or Gift
Through our upcoming letter-writing campaigns, you can send heartfelt letters and small gifts to children, letting them know they’re remembered and loved.
Why It Matters
Behind every orphan is a story of loss but also the potential for healing, success, and joy. With your help, we can provide not just physical comfort, but emotional restoration. We can be the safety net they never had, and the family they deeply long for.
Let’s not just support orphans. Let’s raise them with love, dignity, and purpose.
