Bangladesh is a poor country and most of the population lives below poverty level. There are many distressed families among the poor those who are unable to nurture their children due extreme poverty. These kids are deprived of basic needs like food, shelter and education. Their growing number is a great concern for the society. ORCA, the organization of the ex cadet’s of Rajshahi Cadet College strongly feels for these children. We consider that it is our responsibility to do something for these marooned children. Keeping this in mind, the idea of ‘ORCA HOMES’ was floated in 1999 by the members of Chittagong ORCA.
Orphans of Rana Plaza
Some kids have either lost their father, or mother, or both in the same tragedy. However, unlike in the case of general orphans, these kids hope to lead a better life.
These kids are none other than the children of the Rana Plaza collapse, the worst industrial disaster in the history of Bangladesh, that killed at least 1,135 people and injured several thousands on April 24, 2013. After the collapse of Rana Plaza, the management decided to make a children’s home on the land and accommodate the collapse affected girls, said MI Chowdhury, convener of sub committee of the girls’ home Anjuman Mofidul Islam will do anything and everything for the welfare of these kids and their future.
