Our Story

A Journey of Compassion

Koduvally Muslim Orphanage (KMO) was founded in 1978 and registered under the Societies Registration Act of 1860 (Reg. No. 17/78). KMO is affiliated to the Board of Control for Orphanages and other Charitable Institutions, Govt. of Kerala.

What began as a humble initiative to protect orphan children — both boys and girls — by providing food, clothing, medical aid, and education has grown into a comprehensive educational and welfare ecosystem. In recognition of this work, KMO received the National Award for Child Welfare, Govt. of India, in 1992.

Today, KMO manages a network of educational institutions offering boarding facilities for boys and girls from KG through secondary level, with Madrassa education up to 10th standard. Students who complete SSLC or Plus Two receive free access to graduation, post-graduation, TTC, and B.Ed courses within KMO institutions, along with vocational training in Automobile, Civil Draughtsman, Plumbing, Wiring, and Fashion Designing through KMO's ITI. Interest-free loans are also provided for higher studies outside KMO.

KMO continues its mission through the support of local donations, community fundraising, and grants from the Govt. of Kerala.

OUR MISSION

KMO was established in 1978 to provide shelter, education, and holistic care to orphaned and underprivileged children of Kozhikode.

We are committed to nurturing every child with compassion, equipping them with knowledge, and empowering them to lead dignified, purposeful lives rooted in faith and service.

OUR VISION

To be a leading centre of Islamic education and community welfare in Malabar — an institution where faith deepens knowledge, where scholarship meets service...

...and where every student is prepared to contribute meaningfully to society and to their community.

OUR VALUES

Faith as our foundation. Compassion as our compass. Excellence in education and character.

Integrity in every action. Service to community as our highest calling. These are the values that have guided KMO for over four decades and will continue to shape every life we touch.

Pareekutty Haji

Visionary · Philanthropist · Community Builder

“True legacy is not what we build for ourselves, but the shelter we provide for the vulnerable and the knowledge we plant in the hearts of the youth.”

In 1978, Pareekutty Haji saw the unmet needs of orphaned and underprivileged children across Malabar and responded with action — founding Koduvally Muslim Orphanage (KMO) to provide shelter, education, and Islamic values to those who needed it most.

Under his visionary leadership and the sustained generosity of the community, KMO grew from a humble orphanage into a campus of 10 premier institutions over five decades — educating thousands of students and shaping the civic and spiritual fabric of Malabar.

His foundational philosophy focused on child-centric welfare: providing not just shelter, but a holistic home ecosystem that combined care with high-standard academic and vocational learning. Today, his legacy continues to guide KMO's mission as a beacon of education and welfare.
