Darun Naim Orphanage was established with the vision of offering a family home environment for the most vulnerable in our Community. In 2012 the trust embarked on a fundraising programme to acquire its own premises that would be suitable for running a foster home model.
The first premises in Wynberg was eventually purchased in 2013 and has been set up as a “normal” family home. When you visit our home you will not see any orphanage boards on display, you will not see any branding on our vehicles. You will find a normal home where our children call our house parents “Mommy” and “Daddy”.
Due to the huge demand, we have opened a second home in 2019 which we are currently renting. Each home runs as a family unit with their own house parents.
A normal home where they can for the first time in their young lives experience what ‘normal’ feels like. This is our vision. To provide a nurturing and caring family environment. Something that we all want for our own children.
Through the ongoing financial support from our community, we have extended our support to another two homes allowing us to help a total of forty children on an ongoing basis.
Nabi Muhammad SAW said: “I and the person who looks after an orphan will be in Paradise together like this…” – then he raised his forefinger and middle finger together. (Hadith Bukhari)
