One of the most emotional stories of Mera Pyara reunification is the story of Alishba and Sadia, which reminds us of how vulnerable children can be in their lives. These two sisters cannot hear or speak and disappeared in Punjab in 2022. What appeared to be a brief period of separation became a painful three-year excursion very distant out of home.
Being unable to tell their names, address, or family information, Alishba and Sadia were not known for years. They were finally discovered in Karachi, safe, but out of touch with their family, and not knowing how to get home. The silence and uncertainty were heartbreaking to their father. He had not given up hope, just like many parents who had been looking after a lost child in Pakistan.
Mera Pyara - Virtual Center of Child Safety, which is a part of the nationwide child protection mission, accepted the case under the Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA). The Mera Pyara team recorded the details of the sisters and posted their information using the official Mera Pyara Facebook page, which is an essential step in demonstrating how to locate a missing child when traditional identification cannot be done.
This outreach turned out to be the turning point by the grace of Allah. Their father spotted the post, and he instantly identified his daughters, and he called the Mera Pyara team. The sisters were finally reunited with their father after a thorough check-up and coordination. The fact that they had not seen him in three years made the moment of their embrace an emotional reunion that was not to be forgotten.
This Sadia reunion and Alishba reunion are an emotional success story of Mera Pyara. It points out how compassion, technology, and the awareness of the people can bring families back together even after a long time. In addition to reunification, Mera Pyara also addresses any type of child safety issue, such as abuse, harassment, exploitation, and digital threats, 24/7 in Pakistan.
All the stories of Mera Pyara reunification have one basic message: no child must be lost, and no family must lose hope.
