Being an orphan is not merely considered the saddest of all tragedies that life can throw on a child. It's not just the breadwinner of the family who disappears. Suddenly, the child loses his best game partner, his best friend, a protector and a guide when it comes to taking tough decisions.
When Habibullah died of T. B., his only legacy left to Yasmee (his widow) was their seven children. It was like a catastrophe for the family because they had no financial savings to lean on. Life started to come on track when Yasmeen began working as a housemaid to earn a living for her seven orphaned children. But she was apprehensive about Farhan, as he was the youngest boy, and she wanted to give him a better future. Her resources were not enough to realize her dream of giving him a good education and other facilities of life. She prayed day and night, and Allah certainly did listen to her sincere prayers. She was looking for a school which could at least provide better education to her child but what she found was more than just a good school. She found a home for her child.
In 2017 she got to know about MyHome Al-Mustafa. It did not take her long to admit Farhan to My Home Al-Mustafa. Farhan is now part of a vast family. He has been living here for five years and is ten years old now. Here he gets a quality education (enrolled in Al-Mustafa Academy), sports, health and all the facilities of life a child can ask for. He does visit his mother on vacations, but he is happier at his place where there are friends who are more than family, his bicycle and football. He is a very talented boy and is fond of learning mathematics at school.
