Orphans Shelter Foundation

Orphans Shelter Foundation was founded on an idea and dream of Hafiz Nisaruddin Ahmed, who started his original Shah Waliullah Islamic Centre in Bangladesh in the year 1984. As a social philanthropist, his whole life was based on helping the poor and the needy.

Even as a child Hafiz Nisaruddin Ahmed wanted to do social work. He felt that families and communities needed to be closer; that the helpless needed a voice and an aim, and had a part in society. He wanted to do justice for them. And Alhumdulillah, with the help of well wishers, his concept became a reality.

After many years of hard work and success, he felt it was necessary to start a project based in London, where his basic thoughts were put into practice. He felt that a similar organisation like the one he set up in Bangladesh was needed in the UK, where funding could be raised, so that needy orphans from all over Bangladesh could be helped. In 2005, the Orphans Shelter Foundation was founded.
