The Government of Pakistan has initiated a program viz. Pakistan Sweet Home under
auspices of the Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal, wherein orphan children are sponsored for
their living and education in 24/7 mode. Under auspices of the said program, the
COMSATS University Islamabad, Abbottabad campus has assumed full responsibility of 100 orphan boys of age
4-6 years for their up-bringing and education. The said initiative is named as COMSATS Sweet Home program.
The COMSATS Sweet Home takes care of good living, upkeep and
more importantly the up-bringing of the benefiting children. The look after includes
shelter, food, clothing, education, sports, entertainment and more importantly the
development of a cognizant socially responsible individual. The children are enrolled
in the best educational institutions of the town and study alongside other children
and not per se segregated because of their social deprivation. The results are seen
in having confident, graceful and smiling children growing up, Insha Allah as the
prolific members of the society. God willing, the COMSATS University intends to scale up the operations
and would adopt more children including female children. Presently, however, the
children are residing in a rented environment which is not purpose built and, at
times, inhibits their healthy up-bringing. In order to correct this anomaly, the
COMSATS University Islamabad, Abbottabad campus has earmarked a piece of land for the construction of a purpose
built abode of the children in its serene and meticulously maintained campus there.
