MAY ALLAH (SWT) ACCEPT THEIR EFFORTS AND GRANT
THOSE JANNATUL FIRDOUS, AMEEN.

MOTIVATION FOR THE FORMATION OF THE INSTITUTE

The great depression and the adverse effect it had on many members of the Muslim community at that time served as an impetus for the formation of the Muslim Home for orphans and destitute. The Indian community had few rights and social welfare services were non-existent. The strong Quraanic injunctions about the care for orphans and destitute also served as a spur. Against this background Moulana Ahmed Mukthar Siddiqui in consultation with members of the community involved in humanitarian work and businessmen set up the first meeting of the institution on 10th September 1934.

Founders of the institution: A.I. Kajee, C.M. Angalia, Tayob Sacoor, M.S. Kharwa, Sayed Fakroodeen, Ismail Osman, E.M. Paruk, and A.K.E Bux.

THE FIRST COMMITEE

The following were the first committee members who were instrumental in the formation of the institution:

Chairman: Moulana Ahmed Mukthar Siddiqui

MS SHIREEN LONDT – SERVED THE ORGANISATION FOR 30 YEARS

An individual with excellent qualities, friendly, sociable and polite. She began her working career at the Darul Yatama Wal Masakeen when their offices were openend in Saville Street. The people she served knew her as “Shireen Apa”. Shireen later moved to the offices in Pine Street and ended her term of office at the offices in Randles Road, Sydenham. Some of the duties that Shireen coordinated were:

A welfare officer assisting with distribution of grocery hampers to the underprivileged and financial assistance in terms of rent, water and lights.
She counselled families on marital problems.
Shireen Apa sought employment for the unemployed.
Brought joy in many households when she assisted them with adoptions of babies.
She also coordinated the fundraising activities of the Darul Yatama Wal Masakeen.
Counselled the young girls at the Baitul Aman Children’s Home.

Shireen Apa sadly passed away on Tuesday 10/11/2009, after a prolonged illness. May Allah (SWT) grant her Janaatul Firdaus, Ameen. We salute and honour Shireen Apa for the sterling work undertaken.
