Mukkam Muslim Orphanage was established in 1956 admitting 22 orphans. Now it has flourished in to an institutional complex containing schools, colleges and professional institutions. The prime aim of the committee is to equip each inmate capable of standing on his feet acquiring modern as well as religious education along with acquiring expertise in any professional or vocational trade. At present more than one thousand and 1,500 orphans and destitute are undergoing education. They are provided with all facilities such as food, accommodation, clothes, medical treatment, learning materials, etc at free of cost. Some of the inmates are having neither father nor mother nor near relations. The orphanage committee puts up houses for them as part of their rehabilitation and arranges the marriage of the girls also.

About 65 of the alumni work in different categories in the aided institutions under the management and many works in govt. Services as well in gulf countries. One of our Alumni Mr. Muhammed Ali Shihab had secured the 226th rank in 2010 Civil Service Examination.

At present a few inmates are studying outside Kerala also under full expense and control of the orphanage management for M.com (Aligarh); B.Tech (Thiruvananthapuram) and for IAS coaching in New Delhi.

More than 200 students from Delhi, UP and Bihar were studying here now and it is happy to note that many students are from these states for next academic year.
