The tragic history of Afghanistan has destroyed many innocent lives. The most innocent of these victims are surely the children. They do not have political views. They do not have hate. But they do have fear. Fear of a future worse than that which they have experienced in their short lives.
With the help of Sana Orphanage, the tears that fall from the faces of these children do not have to be accompanied by a broken heart; these tears can instead be those of happiness when the heart is overflowing with joy. These children, like every other child around the world, simply ask for the basic necessities of life: food, shelter and love. Sana Orphanage provides these basic needs but also strives to turn each life into one that can benefit society through education. A full belly and a well tuned mind is what makes Sana Orphanage more than just an orphanage.

Since Sana Orphanage first opened its door to the needy children of Afghanistan in Oct 2006, with God's help we were able to save 52 children - 6 girls and 46 boys.
Unfortunately, our orphanage is located in the war zone where bad things happens daily. No one knows what will happen next or where it will happen. On 7 May 2011, a bad fire-fight started close to our orphanage. Sadly, a piece of shrapnel hit one of our little boys who was playing at the yard a few minutes before the fight started. He lost his life in a second and left us with a scar in our heart forever. Thanks to god other children are safe, but losing their brother was a harsh moment for them.
We are working hard to build an orphanage for them that will be a permanent home.
