WADI RAHMAH - the proud of Kodiyathur

Our society always gives prominence to the protection of orphans and destitute. Though we appreciate the intention of the organizers of orphanages and poor homes a truth remains there. In almost all orphanages the inmates are living with a sense of insecurity. They lack something which is essential for their growth and development. It was in this circumstance that the Islahiya Association cherished a desire of establishing an ideal orphanage, a real home for the orphans where they get Parental affections. In the year 1989 this noble dream was fulfilled. WADI RAHMAH [the valley of mercy] AL – ISLAH ORPHANAGE was established at Kodiyathur in the east of Kozhikode district. They are proud to announce that it is an ideal valley of mercy toward orphans and destitute which provides all the requirements needed for the growth and development of inmates by inculcating intellectual, spiritual, physical and cultural values. Today they have around 200 inmates with them. They have a long list of inmates who have excelled in the academic and co-academic fields. Their children had opportunities to be first in the SSLC exam among the inmates of orphanages in the state several times. They have been winning the overall championship in Orphanages Fest in the past years. These achievements distinguish Wadi Rahma from other orphanages. Besides this, the facilities provided here are unique in its nature. They wish to contribute the same for ever.
