Swat district is famous for its natural beauty all over the world, having population of 1258660 covering an area of 5373 Square km.
Swat is a back ward district of N.W.F.P and most of the people are poor. According to an independent consultant EDC hired by Asian development bank for the feasibility of Malakand Rural development project MRDP 72 % of the people are lying below poverty line in this area.
On 6th September 1986 a few enthusiastic and energetic scouts of swat founded swat scouts open group in Mingora Swat. The young spirited scouts had the resolve to serve people and the country. They started activity like Hospital service, tree plantation, serving the pilgrims, health and cleanliness, campaigns against illiteracy, celebration of important days. Provision of blood donations, controlling traffic, offering service during calamities, anti-narcotics and drug campaigns etc. Besides these, they also continued their scouting activities and participated with full spirit and zeal in all provincial and national scout events. The expert of swat scouts open group surveyed about 20 different villages of district swat. In this survey, it was discovered that there are nearly 10 orphans in every village. Thus, total 520 villages only in district swat have 5200 helpless orphan children some of them are bereaved father as well as mother. While majority of the children are fatherless. Their mother is alive but they cannot afford the proper look after of their children. Most of these children are involved in child labor child abuse, drug addiction and in other harmful activities.
Keeping in view the pathetic condition.
In September 1996, a meeting of youth forum of swat scouts open group was held. The members of swat scouts open group after thorough deliberation and discussion decided to establish an orphanage for the welfare and education of the orphan and helpless children of the region at Mingora. Central city of Malakand Division. The idea was materialized in the shape of Khpal Kor (My Home) in October 1996, which was formally registered with the department of social welfare in 1998 under the registration act 1961. In the beginning, five orphan children were admitted in orphanage. Later on their number was increased up to 24 children. They were provided with all kinds of possible facilities. During that period Governor NWFP allotted a plot of four (4) canals adjacent to the 25 canals playground & Gymnasium at Makan Bagh Mingora vide letter No 6366/rev/iv/kg/90-dated 29/03/2001. Within a short period, a large building was erected on the said plot. With the help of committee, the number of 24 orphan children was increased to 50 children. A school has also been established in the said building namely “Khpal Kor Model School”
Besides Khpal Kor orphan children, quality education is also provided to the community children at reasonable fee.
