OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT

TO IDENTIFY A NEED IN THE ORPHANAGE AND TO HELP

SOLVE THIS NEED BIHITHNILLAH.

WHAT IS AN ORPHANAGE?

*AN INSTITUTION ESTABLISHED TO HOME

ORPHANS

WHO IS AN ORPHAN?

*ACCORDING TO WESTERN BELIEF,HE IS ONE WHO HAS LOST BOTH PARENTS.

*ISLAMICALLY,HE IS ONE WHO HAS LOST HIS FATHER.

*IT IS ONE OF THE NOBLE ACTIONS BY WHICH ALLAH(SWT)GRANTS HIS

SLAVES JANNAH.

THE PROPHET(SAW) SAID-‘I AND THE PERSON WHO LOOKS AFTER AN ORPHAN AND PROVIDES

FOR HIM,WILL BE IN PARADISE LIKE THIS,’PUTTING HIS INDEX AND MIDDLE FINGER

TOGETHER(BUKHARI)

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO CARE FOR THE ORPHAN?

*IT PROVIDES AN EASY MEANS OF GAINING REWARD FROM ALLAH BECAUSE A MERE GENTLE STROKE OF AN ORPHAN’S HEAD IS CONSIDERED AN ACT OF WORSHIP.

THE PROPHET(SAW)SAID ‘IF ANYONE STROKES AN ORPHAN’S HEAD,DOING SO ONLY FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH,HE WILL HAVE BLESSINGS FOR EVERY HAIR OVER WHICH HIS HAND PASSES...’(TIRMIDHI)

HOME LOCATED AT 14,JOEL OGUNNAIKE STR, G.R.A,IKEJA

WAS FOUNDED IN 1990BY

THE LATE ALHAJI ABDULWAHAB IYANDA FOLAWUYO.

IT WAS ESTABLISHED TO HOUSE AND TAKE CARE OF LESS PRIVILEGED ORPHANS FROM A MINIMUM OF ABOUT 2YRS OLD TILL MATURITY.

PRESENTLY,THERE ARE ABOUT TWENTY-EIGHT (28) ORPHANS(13 BOYS,15 GIRLS) LIVING IN THE HOME.

IT IS BEING MANAGED BY BRO. MUHAMMED YINKA FOLAWUYO(DIRECTOR),IMAM HASSAN TAHIR(HEAD),THE MATRON,THE NURSE ETC.

THE CHILDREN ARE USUALLY ENGAGED IN VARIOUS

ACTIVITIES SUCH AS ARABIC CLASSES, WESTERN

EDUCATION,VOCATIONAL TRAININGS, KARATE, COMPUTER CLASSES

ETC.THEY HAVE RECORDS OF OUSTANDING PERFORMANCE

IN THESE FIELDS.

OUR VISITWE VISITED THE HOME ON THE 19TH OF JUNE 2010. WE WERE WELCOMED BY THE HEAD AND THE MATRON.THE MATRON TOOK AROUND THE HOME AND PROVIDED US WITH THE NECESSARY INFORMATION ABOUT THE HOME.

THE CHILDREN REMINDED US OF THE GLORIOUS WORDS OF ALLAH SWT WHEN SIS.ZAINAB(5 YRS OLD),BRO. AHMED YUUSUF(6 YRS OLD),AMONGST OTHERS, RECIETED PORTIONS FROM THE HOLY BOOK.

WE GOT TO KNOW ABOUT THE HOME BETTER DURING PERSONAL RELATIONS WE HAD WITH THE KIDS.OUR INTENTION AND DONATIONS WERE MADE KNOWN TO THE STAFF AND CHILDREN. 

THEY APPRECIATED THESE GESTURES AND SO CHORUSED ‘JAZAKUMULLAHU KHAIRAN’ AND GAVE US THE PERMISSION TO VISIT THEM AS MUCH AS ITS POSSIBLE INSHA ALLAH.

PROJECT PLAN

A WELL-EQUIPPED FIRST AID BOX PROVISION OF TOILETRIES ROLL BACK MALARIA PROJECT

1)PROVISION OF A WELL-EQUIPPED FIRST-AID BOX

A FIRST AID BOX IS A BOX WHICH CONTAINS THE NECESSARY ITEMS NEEDED FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF A DOCTOR.

THIS TOOL IS NECESSARY IN THE ORPHANAGE SINCE ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES ARE OF DAILY OCCURENCE. THE FIRST-AID BOX PRESENTED CONTAINED ITEMS SUCH AS

-PLASTERS -HYDOGEN PEROXIDE-CREPE BANDAGE -COTTON WOOL -TCP -GLUCOSE POWDER-VITAMINS-COUGH EXPECTORANTS ETC

INSHA ALLAH,WE HOPE TO SUPPLY THESE MATERIALS ON A REGULAR BASIS TO HELP AN ORPHAN ACHIEVE GOOD HEALTH.

2)PROVISION OF TOILETRIES

AS PART OF OUR EFFORT TO ENSURE THE GOOD HEALTH OF THE ORPHANS,WE ALSO DONATED TOILETRIES SUCH AS SANITARY

PADS,ANTISEPTIC SOAPS AND LIQUIDS,TOOTHPASTES ETC.

THIS WE HOPE WILL KEEP THEM FROM GERMS THEREBY ALLOWING THEM ACHIEVE

GOOD HEALTH. 

AS MALARIA IS A DISEASE AFFECTING AND KILLING MANY

NIGERIANS,MUSLIMS INCLUSIVE,THE LAGOS STATE GOV. IN

COLLABORATION WITH THE SOCIETY FOR FAMILY HEALTH IS MAKING

PLANS ON HOW LAGOSSIANS CAN GET QUALITY MALARIA DRUGS AT

VERY AFFORDABLE PRICES SOON.WE ARE MAKING PLANS OF HOW THE ORPHANAGE CAN BENEFIT FROM

THIS PROJECT INSHA ALLAH.

3)THE ROLL-BACK MALARIA PROJECT

CONCLUSION

ALHAMDULILLAHWE THANK ALLAH FOR GUIDING US THROUGH THE WHOLE PERIOD OF THE EXERCISE.MAY HE FORGIVE OUR SHORT COMINGS AND ACCEPT THIS AS AN ACT OF IBADAH FROM US. WE ALSO APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS OF THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THIS SADAQAH A REALITY AND PRAY FOR GOOD IN THIS DUNYAH FOR THEM AND AL-JANNAH IN THE AAKHIRAH.(AMIN)
