ConceptMRA aims to provide all the opportunities essential for the emotional, psychological andphysical growth of this under privileged segment of the society. The village will provideall the resources essential for the care, and growth of this marginalized segment thatneeds specific care. The component parts of MRA include:

Mother: ‘Mother’ is the key person in MRA after the children themselves. The mother isfocal person of all the activities inside the homes. She is required to help understand thepsychological conditions of all the children. She builds an affiliation with each child basedon love, care and affection. She takes care of the children according to their needs. Shemakes the children comfortable at home and helps them adjust in a friendly atmospherewith others inside the home and eventually develops a relationship amongst them thatwill reflect sibling relationships. She is responsible for the running of home and servesthese children as head of the home. She cooks, cleans and feeds the children. She alsohelps children in their daily homework and takes them out for a walk and for recreationalactivities. She helps children understand basic life skills and basic Islamic values.

Family: The family represents the basic unit of the MRA. Each family consists of amother and all the children living in single home. These children include boys and girls.These boys and girls lives together reflecting sibling relations with each other and calleach other bhae (brother) and behan (sister).

Home: Each child belongs to a home. He/she shares the premises with their kin. He/shehas his/her own bed and space. He/she has his/her own writing table, chair, andwardrobe. This arrangement shall remain until they reach puberty at which alternativearrangements are made – Youth Hostel.

Miri Roshni Academy (MRA): 10 families living together form Miri Roshni Academy.Each family is a separate unit. The interaction between the families will help to develop asocial relationship amongst the children. Occasionally, these families get together forplanned social interaction. However it will be desirable that these families develop anatural mutual relationship reflecting a normal neighborhood and community. At present

MRA has five homes where 50 children live with their foster mothers in a separate home.

Youth Hostels: Boys coming of the age will be shifted to live separately from theirmothers’ and ‘sisters’. They will live in youth hostels. The girls however remain in thesame family home with the mother. She will be in the care of the mother as well as helpher in caring for her younger brothers and sisters. A youth hostel will have to beconstructed within next 8 years when most of the present children reach adolescence.

Formal Education Facility: A well-established school for the formal education of boysand girls has been established with an English Medium Oxford Based Syllabus.

Religious Education Facility: A Central mosque for religious education and worship willbe established. The Imam masjid (religious teacher) will teach these children the basicsof religion. At present children attend a local community mosque.

Basic Health care: A dispensary will be established in the Village to provide basichealth facilities. A volunteer doctor will visit the village on a weekly basis. A permanentDispenser will remain present permanently. At present space is available for this facility,however, services are not started.



Career Counseling: The facility will guide the youth to choose their future occupation.Support from volunteer professionals would be sought for this.

Future Support: The young who will choose vocational trainings will be facilitated to getrequired training at a Vocational Training Centre. It is hoped that such a facility will alsoform part of the village although out-sourcing is an option. While Human AppealInternational and Al-Mustafa Trust International’s Sponsorship Scheme may providelimited scholarships for students who wish to continue their education too.
