The team acquired approximately 6 Acres at Usman Park Gujranwala for the project. Garth Breaking Ceremony of Roshni Homes was performed by Haji Aziz ur Rehman (late), father of Mr. Mehfooz ur Rehman, Trustee, on 20th August, 2000. The project was formally inaugurated by Lt.

This is the first step towards making a chain of Roshni Homes all over Pakistan. Roshni Homes provide love, security, sense of belonging and a basic family unit to the children. The "Light House" of Roshni will always guide the wandering ships of these destitute children to the shores of safety and happiness. |
