Sher Ghar

INTRODUCTION

Introduction 

Sher Ghar is an Orphan House established in the outskirts of Village Mitha Tiwana, District Khushab by Society for Human Empowerment and Rural Development (SHER). There are two Campuses of Sher Ghar i.e. Male & Female Campus. Male Campus is located approx 4 KM outside the village and spread over an area of seven acre along with adjoining land of nine acres. Female Sher Ghar is situated in a well populated colony of village Mitha Tiwana with completely covered compound of 2 Kanals. It is a double story building with absolute security arrangements. Land for Male and Female Sher Ghar has been donated by Col Muhammad Sadiq (R), President of SHER.

Background 

SHER started working for the welfare and social uplift of the urban and poor masses of the area way back in 1993. All initial investments in the form of donations were made by Col Muhammad Sadiq (R) and the family members. As the credibility of NGO was established and its efforts became visible on ground, more and more people joined the cause of SHER to help the poor and destitute people of the area. While working in the area, SHER appreciated that the most vulnerable and deserving segment of the urban societies are children and especially the orphans. This realization gave birth to the idea of establishing an Orphan House for poor and destitute children. In 2007, a meager start was taken by admitting 15 boys of various age groups in an accommodation comprising three rooms, kitchen and meager staff accommodation.  The response was over whelming and highly encouraging as Sher Ghar was the only Orphan House in District Khushab. Within the span of 6 to 7 years, Sher Ghar enhanced its capacity to accommodate 200 males and a separate campus to accommodate 100 females.

Legal Status 

Sher Ghar is registered as an Orphan House with the Government of Pakistan.

Sponsorship of Sher Ghar Children
