Whilst the majority of our fundraising supports local good causes, every two years we hold a golf day specifically to raise funds for international charities and causes. 🌍

One of the good causes benefiting from your support is Unique Home Jalandhar an orphanage located in the Punjab which is dedicated to rescuing and nurturing abandoned and orphaned girls, giving them a safe haven and a chance at a brighter future. 🌟👧

At Unique Home, every child is treated with love, dignity, and care, regardless of caste, creed, or religion. The home provides not only shelter but also education, life skills, and emotional support, empowering these girls to grow into confident and self-reliant individuals. 📚💪

Unique Home also carries out outreach work to help strengthen families and reduce the risk of girls being abandoned. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒💪

In a society where female foeticide and abandonment are harsh realities, Unique Home is a powerful reminder of the value and potential of every girl. The girls here are not just given a home—they are given a family, a future, and a reason to dream. 🌈✨

Together, we can help these girls thrive and show the world the power of kindness and community. 🤝💞
