At Jamiah Faqihul-Ummah For Boys, caring for orphans is more than charity — it is an act of worship, a sacred amanah (trust), and a way of fulfilling the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, who himself was an orphan.
We are guided by the words of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ:
Every child under our care is raised as part of a family, not as a statistic. They are loved, taught, mentored, and supported until they are ready to stand independently as adults.
Our Approach
1. Holistic Care
Shelter & Nutrition: Safe housing, healthy meals, and essential needs provided daily.
Health & Well-being: Access to medical support, physical care, and emotional guidance.

Secular Education: Enrolment in local schools (Florida, Roodepoort, Randburg) complemented by tutoring.
Life Skills: Training in responsibility, discipline, and independence.
3. Community Integration
Children actively participate in local masjid programs, salah, and community gatherings.
Continuous mentorship until adulthood, with ongoing support as they transition to independent living.

Our Community Role
Jamiah Faqihul-Ummah For Boys is not only an orphanage but also a community centre where the Ummah gathers for worship, learning, and mutual support:
Weekly women’s madressah.
Ramadan iftar and taraweeh programs.
Eid salah and celebrations.
Ongoing distribution of food, clothing, and aid to over 100 families.
Our Leadership & Support
The orphanage is overseen by a committed management team assisted by teachers, social workers, and professional volunteers.
We are sustained entirely by the will of Allah ﷻ and the generosity of donors through Zakat, Lillah, Sadaqah, and in-kind contributions. Professional volunteers such as tutors, accountants, and mentors regularly give their time and expertise, ensuring transparency, accountability, and excellence in all operations.
Our Legacy & Future
For over 20 years, Jamiah Faqihul-Ummah For Boys has raised orphans with dignity and care. Many of our boys have gone on to complete their schooling, pursue careers, and become leaders who now support the very institution that nurtured them.
Looking ahead, our vision is to expand our facilities, increase our outreach, and continue building a self-sustaining model of orphan care inspired by Islamic values.
