Jamiat Children Village

"The one who cares for an orphan and I will be together like this, and he held his two fingers together". (Sahi Bukhari, 5659) 

After the devastating earthquake in Anjar ( Kutch) in 2001, in which 465 schoolchildren lost their lives,  a Jamiat Children Village was constructed to commemorate their memory. The main aim of the project was to house and educate the orphans who had lost their parents during the earthquake and the Gujrat pogrom in 2002. 

Jamiat dedicatedly worked to rebuild their shattered lives. Spacious dormitories at the village accommodate groups of 10 children, each under the supervision of an "aami" or mother, in a room, to provide them with a family atmosphere. Although the first batch of children was accommodated there are now young adults - married and settled in their lives, the Jamiat Children Village marches on accommodating other orphans and deprived children.  Out of 716 children in Jamiat Schools, 59 are sponsored by JCV.
