The Orphanage


The Uddam Foundation looks after the orphans. It is regarded as moral liability. The child home has been set up with a view to carrying out this responsibility. This home ensures comfortable and healthy environment possessing 100 decimal lands. This campus consists of a playground and a pond. Children study here in a sound environment.



The country does not have sufficient infrastructure to provide child services and place orphan children in proper foster care. As a result, children without parents often end up in the street. Uddam is trying its best within its capabilities to address the issue and provide a decent living condition and education opportunities to Orphan children. 27 orphan children are staying at the home currently and more than 50 children had graduated since the establishment.
