Friday, December 5, 2025 01:41 PM

Mera Pyara has emerged as Pakistan’s most trusted and powerful platform for child protection and vulnerable-person safety. Built on the principles of accessibility, transparency, and immediate response, Mera Pyara functions as a nationwide child safety center dedicated to supporting lost-and-found cases as well as incidents involving abuse, harassment, rape, sodomy, and digital exploitation. Its reach, advanced technology, and multi-agency coordination make it the largest child safety center in Pakistan and one of the most centralized protection systems in the world.

Mera Pyara operates in all provinces, ensuring that help is never out of reach for families dealing with emergencies. Whether a child is missing, a senior citizen is found wandering, or a victim is suffering from abuse, the platform offers immediate support through its website, PSCA Public Safety App, WhatsApp helpline 0309-0000015, and toll-free Punjab 15 number. In a country where safety challenges are complex and widespread, Mera Pyara brings together people, technology, and institutions to safeguard lives with unmatched efficiency.

A National Safety Network Serving Every Region of Pakistan

The foundation of Mera Pyara’s impact lies in its nationwide accessibility. Instead of limiting services to a single district or province, the platform was designed to function as Pakistan’s first unified safety system. Reports can be filed from any corner of Pakistan, the information flows instantly to the centralized command center.

This interconnected system ensures that a child found in Karachi can be matched with a missing persons report from Multan, or an abuse case reported in a rural village can immediately reach the relevant police station. Mera Pyara’s ability to bridge distances and remove bureaucratic delays has transformed the way child safety cases are handled across Pakistan. Families now have a single, dependable platform they can turn to during crises.

A Unified Data Center for Unidentified and Vulnerable Children

One of the most groundbreaking achievements of Mera Pyara is its Unified Data Center, Pakistan’s first and only consolidated database for unidentified children, missing persons, and vulnerable individuals found in public spaces. The database is publicly accessible through the Mera Pyara website and the PSCA Public Safety App, allowing families to search for their loved ones at any time.

This centralized approach has solved a long-standing national challenge where information was previously scattered across police stations, shelters, and welfare centers. Now, every recovered child, elderly person, or vulnerable individual is documented systematically with photographs and key details. This makes identification faster, more accurate, and accessible for anyone with an internet connection. The Unified Data Center stands as one of the strongest pillars of Mera Pyara’s success, creating transparency, speed, and nationwide coordination.

Addressing Lost-and-Found and Abuse Cases with Equal Priority

Mera Pyara’s scope is broad and inclusive. While lost-and-found cases remain a significant part of its mission, the platform equally prioritizes child protection cases involving physical, emotional, and digital harm. This dual focus ensures that every child in Pakistan receives protection, whether they are separated from their family or threatened by violence and exploitation.

Lost-and-found cases often involve children who are confused, speech-impaired, mentally unwell, or too young to communicate. Seniors and individuals with disabilities also fall into this category. Mera Pyara connects these vulnerable individuals with their families through rapid data matching, public outreach, and nationwide coordination.

At the same time, the platform actively handles cases involving child abuse, harassment, rape, sodomy, domestic violence, and digital exploitation. Victims receive guidance, legal assistance, and immediate protection. Sensitive cases are escalated through secure communication channels to ensure confidentiality while maintaining swift action. This balanced, comprehensive approach is what makes Mera Pyara far more than a typical recovery service it is a complete safety center.

47,000 Abuse and Exploitation Cases Handled with Sensitivity and Precision

In its first 16 months, Mera Pyara handled over 100,000 cases across Pakistan, an extraordinary milestone that highlights the urgent need for a unified safety platform. Approximately 53,000 of these cases involved lost-and-found children, senior citizens, and persons with disabilities, with 51,000 successful reunifications.

However, an equally significant portion of the workload involved child protection. Around 47,000 cases were related to child abuse, harassment, rape, sodomy, digital exploitation and any other type of child safety. As of December 2025, more than 41,000 of these cases had been resolved. These numbers demonstrate not only the scale of the problem but also the effectiveness of Mera Pyara’s coordinated approach. By treating abuse cases with the same urgency as lost-and-found incidents, the platform ensures that children receive the protection they deserve.

Collaboration with 737 Police Stations and Major Welfare Organizations

Mera Pyara’s effectiveness is rooted in deep partnerships across Pakistan. By working closely with Child Protection Bureaus, Edhi Foundation, Chhipa Welfare, CPLC, orphanages, shelters, hospitals, and emergency services, the platform maintains a seamless response system. Most importantly, Mera Pyara is integrated with 737 police stations, enabling real-time case sharing and faster interventions.

This level of collaboration is unparalleled in Pakistan. It combines law enforcement, welfare support, digital technology, and community engagement into a single system, creating a safety network unmatched anywhere in the world.

Strengthening Child Safety Through International Collaboration

Mera Pyara is not only a national safety network—it is also connected to the global child protection community. Through its collaboration with the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), Mera Pyara aligns its processes with international standards, gains access to global expertise, and strengthens cross-border cooperation in cases involving trafficking, exploitation, or unidentified children. This partnership ensures that Pakistan’s child safety system continues to evolve, adopting world-class practices and innovative approaches that enhance both prevention and protection efforts across the country.

Technology and 24/7 Accessibility at the Core of the System

Technology drives every operation within Mera Pyara. From AI-based record matching to real-time data sharing and targeted social media campaigns, the platform uses digital tools to make safety faster and smarter. Whether a case is reported through Punjab 15, WhatsApp 0309-0000015, the website, Facebook page, or the PSCA Public Safety App, the system remains operational around the clock. Help is always available day or night for anyone who needs it.

Conclusion: A Centralized System Built for Every Child’s Safety

Mera Pyara is more than a response center it is Pakistan’s most comprehensive and centralized child safety network. By combining nationwide access, advanced technology, strong collaborations, and a unified data system, it ensures that children and vulnerable individuals remain protected at all times. Its work across both lost-and-found and abuse-related cases proves that Mera Pyara is reshaping the future of safety in Pakistan.
