Our logo
The acacia tree is a symbolic expression of Africa’s natural beauty and enduring strength. The characteristics of the tree embody durability, strong resilience, and hardiness. It is drought-resistant due to its very deep roots, which extract moisture from deep below the earth to sustain life in harsh environments.
The ancient Egyptians used it as a spiritual symbol associated with life, regeneration, and the afterlife.
The tree’s potential to adjust and adapt to form symbiotic relationships with both wildlife and human communities to provide vital resources makes it an amazing species. It produces various substances for human use, including drugs, perfume, ink, tannin, Arabic gum, and other products.
The tree uses scent to attract beneficial species or deter harmful species through chemical signals. The tree also communicates with other trees to warn them with signals when threatened, demonstrating an advanced natural intelligence. In certain parts of the world, the ants shield the acacia tree from pests and weeds in exchange for accommodation – a remarkable alliance built on mutual survival.
The tree can also symbolise powerful metaphorical parallels for survival in extreme conditions and the hardships endured by the orphans and destitute with tenacity.
Let there be no compulsion in religion…
Qu’ran 2:156
Charitable causes have been promoted throughout the history of humankind by various cultures, religions and philosophical institutions.
Humanitarian objectives are to alleviate human suffering by providing the necessities of life, irrespective of religious affiliation.
Humanitarian aid is based on the principles of humanity and impartiality based on need alone and free from discrimination. Sameem Orphan Care was awarded a certificate of recognition, appreciation and excellence by the district of Mardan in Pakistan for being the first charity present on the ground to include support for other poor minority religious communities.
