Kashmir Orphans Relief Trust

Kashmir Orphans Relief Trust (K.O.R.T) started after the devastating earthquake that happened on the 8th October 2005 in Pakistan and Azad Kashmir. In addition to providing general aid, we began collecting financial aid and within five days had collected over £100,000. With this money we bought 300 tents, food, blankets, quilts, medicine and other aid. We then personally flew out to Pakistan and managed to organise eleven trucks to distribute the aid around the worst hit areas of Kashmir. To ensure aid was distributed equally and fairly we helped to distribute it, to the people that needed it the most. It is our aim that by December 2010 we would have constructed a building which will be able to house 1000 orphans, our own school and other facilities so that we can take on further responsibilities for the orphans of this devastating earthquake.
