Attiq Malik, a solicitor within the Employment Team at Pictons has teamed up with a newly formed Luton based charity, The Orphan Trust, to assist orphans in Pakistan.
During a recent visit to Kotli in Kashmir Attiq saw first hand the level of deprivation and suffering in the region and in particular the lack of facilities for orphans, there being no orphanages in the area.
The Orphan Trust with the assistance of the local government in Kotli has now secured 2 buildings to be used as orphanages which will provide in house educational facilities for the children. The charity is looking to raise further funds to maintain these buildings and thereafter to set up similar orphanages in other impoverished countries.
If you wish to support Attiq in his efforts please contact him on attiq.malik@pictons.co.uk or donate directly to the charity itself at www.orphantrust.com
