Tayyba Zafar’s reunification is one of the most emotional Mera Pyara reunification stories, highlighting how patience, technology, and compassion can bring families back together even after many years. Tayyba went missing from Sialkot at the age of seven. Having already lost her mother, she was living with her grandmother when she disappeared. She was later found alone and unidentified and safely placed under the care of the Child Protection Bureau, where she remained protected and supported for eleven long years.
The Mera Pyara - Virtual Center for Child Safety team, operating under the Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA), registered the details of Tayyba to assist in tracking her family as part of its nationwide mission. She did not recall addresses or names, but she gave a few childhood memories due to the long separation. She remembered that she lived close to an Imambargah in a village in Sialkot and how there was a big banyan tree in which children used to play. These few hints formed the point of departure of a thorough investigation. The reunification team analyzed the information with the help of the digital mapping tools, field verification, and local coordination. Through legal permission and on-ground work, several sites were searched that corresponded with the memories of Tayyba. The search eventually resulted in her family by the grace of Allah. A reunion with her grandfather after eleven years of separation was an emotional reunion that mended a shattered family relationship and brought a lot of relief.
