Jammu and Kashmir Yateem Trust

The Orphan Care programme by JKYT has been serving orphans since its inception in 1972, making it the first orphanage in the entire region. Over the span of 48 years, the trust has positively impacted the lives of numerous orphan students. The programme is committed to offering quality assistance to orphans without any discrimination based on religion, creed, or gender. It focuses on providing essential necessities like food, clean water, regular medical check-ups, and education to ensure the well-being and development of orphaned children.

Through the Scholarships programme, the organisation provides schooling assistance to 150 orphan and destitute students. After thorough verification, orphan students outside their orphanages receive financial support for their educational courses through the monthly schooling assistance programme. The assistance is directly deposited into their bank accounts and ranges from Rs. 500 to Rs. 3500 per month. This programme has been instrumental in enabling hundreds of students to complete their courses successfully, empowering them to earn a livelihood and lead dignified lives.

The Wedding Assistance program by J&K Yateem Trust aims to bring joy and compassion to the lives of 350 grown-up orphans and destitute girls. Understanding the financial burden and challenges faced by these girls in today's society, where weddings have become expensive and elaborate, the organisation steps in to support them. It provides a complete wedding kit to these girls, ensuring they have all the necessary items to establish a sense of completeness and joy on their special day. The kit includes clothes, toiletry items, shoes, sandals, shawls, and other essential items, relieving the financial burden and making their marriages a memorable and dignified event. By valuing the core principle of humanity and care, the Wedding Assistance programme spreads smiles and creates a warm and loving ambience for these orphan brides, making their lives beautiful and complete.

The organisation focuses on providing aid to the poor, recognizing the significance of good health in leading a prosperous life. Many families and individuals struggle to afford proper healthcare, leading them to desperate situations. To alleviate their burden, the organisation offers financial support to those in need, especially those facing severe illnesses. It provides a comprehensive package that helps them meet at least some of the essential requirements for their treatment, ensuring that they have access to better health conditions and don't have to resort to begging or compromising the lives of their loved ones.

The organisation offers financial support by providing interest-free loans to those in need, without requiring properties or capital as collateral. Unlike banks, which often burden people with high-interest rates and complicated terms, it aims to transform lives and improve fortunes rather than maximise profits through hefty taxes. Recognizing the challenges faced by the economically weaker segment, it acts as a goodwill-based institution, extending loans to help individuals and families without pushing them into a dark abyss of debt.
