About This Cause
WE ARE KASHMIR ORPHAN RELIEF TRUST - KORT We are a UK and AJK based non-profit organisation, raising orphan children at our purpose-built home for orphans in Akhtarabad, Mirpur, Azad Kashmir. Our inception was a deadly Earthquake that struck the region of Azad Kashmir on Saturday 8th October 2005 in which thousands of people lost their lives with many more injured and displaced. Seeing the heart broken condition of orphan children who had lost their parents in the Earthquake, the founders of KORT who were in Azad Kashmir distributing relief packages to the Earthquake affected people, made a commitment to serve orphan children just like we care for our own children at home. KORT is now home to hundreds of orphan children who are provided fresh meals, safe and secure accommodation, brand new unworn clothing, medical care and quality education at our purpose-built home for orphans; The KORT Educational Complex. We believe that it is the right of children to be protected, taken care of physically, psychologically and emotionally, and these rights don’t change when children become orphans. Through education, good nutrition, physical wellbeing, consistent loving care and encouragement, we will help our children perform better in school, be healthier, be independent and have successful careers. Please support us with your generous donations as we look to provide the above facilities for up to 1000 orphan children over the next few years and provide quality education to an additional 500 underprivileged children from nearby villages. It is not the CHOICE of a child to become an orphan, but we/you have the CHOICE to make a difference to their lives.
