International Education And Welfare Society - Dba Saba Homes

What it reported doing in 2025

1. Orphan Care & Holistic DevelopmentOver the past year, IEWS/Saba Homes has provided a safe and nurturing home for more than 926 orphans through our dedicated orphan care projects. Each child under our care received nutritious meals, private high-quality education, healthcare, comfortable accommodation, field trips, hygiene products, new clothing, and vocational workshops. To promote overall growth and confidence, yoga and karate classes were introduced, encouraging both physical and mental discipline. In addition, robotics and computer science programs were implemented to help prepare our children for the digital future. These initiatives ensured that our orphans not only grew up in a loving and stable environment but were also equipped with the knowledge, character, and skills needed to build independent and successful lives.2. Vocational & Skills Development Center (VSDC)The Vocational & Skills Development Center is one of IEWS/Saba Homes most impactful initiatives, designed to empower widows, victims of domestic abuse, unemployed youth, and older orphans with practical training and employable skills. Throughout the year, hundreds of participants received hands-on education in crafts and trades such as sewing, cutting and stitching, embroidery, tailoring, fashion design, and hairdressing. In addition to these trades, digital and IT training programs taught computer fundamentals, typing, office applications, internet and email use, IT support, and even beginner-level coding and computer science.Our center also provided specialized robotics and technology workshops to expose students to modern problem-solving and innovation, while job readiness and entrepreneurship sessions prepared them for the workforce. These included resume writing, interview techniques, workplace communication, and financial literacy lessons. Many graduates of the center secured meaningful employment or established home-based businesses, such as tailoring and salon services, through the support of our starter toolkits, which included sewing machines, salon kits, and other essential equipment. Through these efforts, IEWS successfully transformed the lives of countless individuals, giving them the means to earn sustainable incomes and become financially independent members of society.3. Community Feeding & Hunger ReliefBeyond orphan care, IEWS/Saba Homes extended its compassion to the wider community by providing DAILY MEALS to more than 600 people throughout the year in areas with high poverty rates. This initiative helped ease hunger not only among orphans but also among widows, the elderly, and families struggling with food insecurity. Additionally, IEWS conducted numerous food distributions across impoverished areas, delivering essential groceries and meal supplies to hundreds of families. Special food drives were organized during Ramadan, ensuring that no one in our communities went hungry during the blessed month. Through consistent feeding programs and food distributions, IEWS continued to stand as a pillar of hope and sustenance for the most vulnerable members of society.4. Education, Healthcare, Hygiene & MentorshipAt IEWS/Saba Homes, education is viewed as the foundation of empowerment. Our programs provided comprehensive educational support that extended from primary schooling to higher education. Many of our orphans are now studying in some of the most prestigious colleges and universities, pursuing degrees that will lead them toward successful and fulfilling careers.In addition to academic education, IEWS organized healthcare and hygiene awareness sessions, teaching children and families essential practices for maintaining personal well-being and community cleanliness. Regular medical checkups and healthcare access were also ensured for all residents of our homes. Mentorship programs played a vital role in nurturing emotional intelligence, confidence, and moral values, guiding our youth to become strong, compassionate, and capable individuals
