A new Baby is here! We warmly welcome Claudine to our orphanage Ahmadiyya Darul Ikram in Benin. Unfortunately, her father passed away before she was born and her mother abondend her. She is one month old and by the grace of God has now found a home at our Orphanage.

Mum & Dad are finally here!

Today our new mum and dad Dr Valeed Sethi arrived from Germany. We are all very excited. But I'm sure Mum and Dad are too. It is a great day.

Simply incredible!

It is unbelievable, this young couple is leaving their home and their beautiful home to help other people in a foreign place for the rest of their lives. May God accept and richly reward your efforts. Amin.
