ISLAMABAD: Nine young women whom Khubaib Foundation took in as orphaned toddlers, some as young as three or four years old, have graduated from universities in the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. According to the Foundation, all nine graduates joined its Orphan Care Program in early childhood after losing their parents, and were raised within the organization’s own residential and educational institutes. They completed their early schooling there before enrolling in universities across the twin cities.
The graduates met Khubaib Foundation Chairman Nadeem Ahmed Khan this week to mark the achievement. He said the moment was “the result of years of struggle and dedication to supporting orphans”, adding that seeing girls who had come to the Foundation as toddlers graduate from university was “the true reward” of the organization’s mission.
Director General Khubaib Foundation Brig (r) Iftikhar Ali Khan said the graduates’ journey reflected the impact of long-term child sponsorship, under which donors commit to a child’s upbringing from infancy to independence rather than a one-time contribution. He described it as an example of Sadaqah Jariyah, or ongoing charity, whose benefits continue long after the initial act of giving.
Khubaib Foundation currently supports orphaned children across Pakistan through the program, providing them with shelter, education, and mentorship until they are able to live independently.
