About Saiban
Saiban For Orphan, Unaccompanied and Abandoned Children is a global project of Baitussalam Welfare Trust that is providing comprehensive ‘kafalat’ to the thousands of Muslim orphan, unaccompanied and abandoned children, who are victim of acute poverty, war, and displacement; and are in dire need of support for their protection, nourishment, growth, and well-being.
The Muslim Orphans
In the last half a century, millions of Muslims have died due to poverty, natural disasters, and armed conflicts in many Muslim majority countries including Pakistan, Kashmir, Rohingya, Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Central Asia, Cambodia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. As a result, millions of Muslim children are orphaned, unaccompanied, and abandoned to suffer displacement, homelessness, malnutrition, stunted growth, poor health, illiteracy, child labour, marginalisation, abuse and violence in all shapes and forms. According to UNICEF, almost 10,000 children become orphans every day. Only in Pakistan, there are more than 4.6 Million orphan children mostly under the age of 17. Ensuring physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual well-being of these Muslim orphan children is the responsibility of the Muslim Ummah. Saiban mission is to remind Muslim Ummah of their duty to protect the Future of Islam by protecting and nurturing these millions of destitute orphan Muslim children.
CHALLENGES FOR ORPHANS IN PAKISTAN
Following are the number of challenges that are faced by orphans from low-income afamilies particularly in Pakistan:
1. Shelter: Homelessness, inadequate living standards, and profound sense of insecurity.
2. Healthcare: Lack of affordability of healthcare services results in malnourishment, chronic diseases, depression, and lack of vaccination against preventable diseases.
3. Child labor & violence: Orphans from poor families with low literacy face domestic pressure to engage in child labor to survive and support family. They also face violence, abuse and stigmatization at home, school, work place and neighborhood. This results in for orphans to adopt an unhealthy and antisocial lifestyle.
4. Education: Poor orphans are deprived of access to education due to affordability and are more likely to drop out from school after losing their parent.
5. Registered birth and national identity: Many poor orphan children lack birth certificate or B-Forms or any form of birth record. Their identity do not exist in NADRA system which means no education, no protection from the government and children may suffer from social, political and economic exclusion.
6. Inheritance: To deprive widow and her orphan children to claim any assets or property in inheritance, the in-laws deprive widows to get death certificate of their deceased husbands.
OBJECTIVES OF SAIBAN
Saiban ensures that all orphan children registered in Saiban are:
1. Registered in NADRA system as citizen of Pakistan with correct information of their deceased father.
2. Provided proper care in terms of shelter, living, food, clothing, recreation, medical care etc.
3. Pursuing formal education (taleem and tarbiyah) and skills development opportunities without any facing any financial or other challenges.
