Orphanage House
Orphanage House
Asia currently has the highest number of orphans at 71 million. Likewise, Pakistan presently has 4.6 million orphaned kids living in the country. The constant threat of terrorism, target killing, sectarian killing, and other calamities have left millions of families stranded and at the mercy of the society. Other than such disasters, many people have given up their children out of poverty. Pakistan being host to a high number of refugees has also led to an increase in the number of orphans in the country.The life of youth, especially in slums, is quite hard due to the lack of access to resources such as food, water, education, and healthcare facilities makes it a challenge for them to survive. Due to this, the mortality rate of children aged five or under is around sixty-five percent. These problems indicate that steps are necessary to ensure the survival and growth of the following upcoming generation.The JDC orphanage is built on a 1000-yard plot donated by GFS Builders and Developers. Unfortunately, the government has not taken stern steps to help solve this problem, which is why many private foundations have stepped up to support the kids. JDC foundation, after the success of their Old Age Home, decided to launch an Orphanage House in Malir, Karachi.
