Valavannur Bafakhy Yatheem Khana is a unique charitable institution. It was established in 1974 by the Tirur Taluk Sunni Orphanage Committee to commemorate the glorious contributions made by Late Sayyed Abdul Rahman Bafakhy Thangal to the Indian Muslims in their educational, cultural and social upliftment.

The indefatigable spirits of Chappanangadi Bappu Musliyar and Panakkad P.M.S.A Pookoya Thangal led the Sunni Muslims of Valavannur to start this establishment as an asylum for the helpless orphans. On 4th April 1974 P.M.S.A Pookoya Thangal inaugurated this Yatheem Khana with 51 orphans. It was aimed at the rehabilitation and education of the socially, economically, culturally and educationally alienated unfortunate orphans.

Now about 300 orphans get Islamic as well as modern education here. This institution passes twenty five years of glorious service to the community with more than a dozen of various institutions comprising educational, technical and health services. Under these institutions of VBY about 4000 students are studying and 300 people are employed.

Considering the special suggestion of the founding father Chappanangadi Bappu Musliyar no one is appointed to collect the donations in India or abroad.

Under the honourable presidentship of Sayyed Sadiqali Shihab Thangal, Panakkad, VBY is marching ahead through the path of progress.
