Shahid Bagheri Orphanage

Children in orphanages are not necessarily orphans, but also include children from bad situations where the state deems it unsafe to leave the children with their parents due to the use of drugs, abuse or neglect. One such centre which Panah has been supporting during the past 10 years has been the Shahid Haj Bagheri Orphanage, Youth and Teenage Centre. This is a residential centre which looks after approximately 24-30 boys aged 13-18. The centre continues to support the young adults even after they leave care. Most of the teenagers leave school at 18 to get jobs, but job opportunities are very limited and their skills are very basic.

Repair of sports equipment, donation of table-tennis, badminton and football equipment.
