During her job in an orphanage house in Britain, she had become fully accustomed with the difficulties and problems of orphans and their psychology. She resigned from her job in protest against non-provision of Halal food to Muslim orphans in the orphanage.

She came to Pakistan in 1992 and announced this gigantic project to take care of orphan boys and girls, to provide them Islamic education in a clean and religious atmosphere besides imparting modern knowledge.

for the last 20 years she is providing food, Shelter, Education, Vocational training and even providing funds for marriages of the orphan girls. two hundred orphans are receiving RS.1000/= per month as educational assistance at their own localities.
