The war of Independence of Bangladesh in 1971 not only cost thousands of lives, but also rendered manymore helpless and uprooted. Moreover, recurring floods, cyclones, river-erosion and drought have made the country one of the poorest and most helpless in the world. Furthermore, it is known that Faridpur is one of the poorest districts of this hard up country. In the wake of economic hardship of the people of this poverty stricken Bangladesh, the Christian Missionaries appeared to have turned enthusiastically active in preaching Christianity among the members of below-bread-line families. The Christians in the guise of humanitarian services and under the camouflage of rehabilitation, were resorting to convert the orphans and the distressed people of this country into Christianity. This is really catastrophic and alarming in view of the fact that 90% of the population of Bangladesh are the Muslims. Faridpur, one of the poorest districts of the country, being inhabited mostly by the poor and the illiterate, has unfortunately become prone to such priestly menaces. But mere apprehension, resentment and invective desire do not produce any positive result, unless we do something concrete to the cause of the suffering humanity. It is a matter of great regret that very little could be done to ameliorate the sufferings of the poor victims of this situation, especially the unfortunate orphan children uprooted through these catastrophies, both natural and otherwise due to absence of adequate institutionalized services in the community. This is really unfortunate inview of the fact that 80% of the population of Bangladesh are poor and illiterate. Therefore, to combat this situation, some susceptible hearts, Intellectuals and philanthropic souls of Faridpur founded 'Faridpur Muslim Mission' in 1981, with a determination to fulfill some definite objectives. This Mission aims at launching a motivational drive for inspiring the well-to-do people of the community to stand by the side of the suffering humanity in general, and orphans and destitute children in particular. As a part of its massive programme to provide shelter, food and education to orphans and destitute children of this region, Faridpur Muslim Mission, immediately after its inception, instituted an orphanage titled as 'Faridpur Muslim Mission Orphanage' in 1984. General Information :---
