Why we created the FORT Orphan care trust

Dear Friends, have you ever wondered why orphans in our society are so helpless and weak? Why do orphans have to face difficult challenges from a very young age? Why does an orphan feel lonely and isolated even among people?

It's true that the shadow of a father's love is lifted from an orphan's head, but there is no doubt that our attention and yours can improve their future. Together, we might not be able to completely fill the void in their lives, but we can certainly help them enough to stand on their own feet and lead a life of dignity in society like others.

Our small effort through “FORT charitable trust” is aimed at making every possible effort to improve the lives of orphan children. It focuses on taking care of their basic needs, and especially ensuring better arrangements for their education
Our mission at FORT charitable trust is to improve the lives of orphans by providing them with most basic needs such as food, shelter and education. Our vision is to create a nurturing environment for orphans - a place where they feel safe, loved, and valued.

FORT Charitable Trust stands out in the field of orphan welfare due to its commitment to transparency and accountability. This means they operate with a high level of openness, ensuring that all activities and financial dealings are clear and honest. Everyone involved, from donors to beneficiaries, can see where and how resources are used, building trust and integrity in their operations.
Additionally, the trust embraces modern technology, which plays a pivotal role in uniting all stakeholders — including donors, beneficiaries, trustees, and administrators. By using digital tools, they create a unified platform where everyone is connected. This approach not only streamlines communication and operations but also fosters a sense of community and collaboration. The use of technology ensures that resources are effectively allocated and that all parties are well-informed and engaged in the trust’s mission

In the Quran, Surah Fajr verse 17, Allah (swt) complains that People do not honour the orphans. Ponder here that Allah has used the word Honor, which is the highest form of respect. And many verses of the Quran emphasise that caring for orphans is an integral part of Islam. Also, in choosing an orphan as His Last Messenger, Allah (swt) raised the status of orphans everywhere.. The Prophet Muhammad (saw) said, “Myself and the caretaker of an orphan will be in Paradise like this. But, my dear friends, how often do we translate these teachings into actions and deeds?
Think about the often impulsive and excessive purchases we make. Be it high end electronics and smart phones, fancy gadgets, watches, or gold jewellery. Now, imagine if that amount could transform a life. Because every orphan deserves a chance, and with your help, we can make that a reality..
FORT Charity started operations in Sep 2022. Since then, till date i.e Oct 2023 we have provided 25000+ meals, 1000+ online Quran classes and 500+ monthly ration kits . We are currently supporting 100+ orphan families throughout India with ration kits and education.
