Freely in Hope’s Post

The alarming case involving Sarim Burney, a prominent #humanrights activist and philanthropist accused of #childtrafficking under the guise of #adoption, has particularly disturbed civil society and social workers across the country. This unfortunate incident sheds light on the severe flaws within Pakistan’s #childcare system and calls for immediate and comprehensive reforms. The exploitation of #vulnerable children, as highlighted by this case, is a stark reminder of the urgent need to reevaluate how we #care for and #protect our #children. In Pakistan, the over-reliance on institutional care, particularly in #orphanages, has become a growing concern. This issue is further intensified by the mushrooming growth of private orphanages in all parts of the country in recent years. Taking care of orphans attracts significant charitable donations, leading to the rapid establishment of many orphanages that now thrive on public funds. Unfortunately, these institutions often house children who are not true orphans but come from impoverished families struggling with financial or social difficulties. This unnecessary institutionalization not only separates children from their families but also exposes them to potential risks of abuse, neglect, and exploitation.

HARDSHIP TO HOPE: A CHILDS LIFE FREE FROM POVERTY According to UNICEF, there are approximately 153 million orphans worldwide, with a significantly lower number of orphanages available to support them. These children often lack access to essential needs like food, clean water, and education, which contributes to a staggering number of annual deaths and a high incidence of child labor. Over 200 million children are missing out on education, with girls making up a substantial portion of this statistic. Now is the moment to initiate change and lower these alarming figures. At SOL Foundation, we collaborate with various programs that offer support to children, families, and communities in need. Your contribution can profoundly impact a child's life, giving them the opportunity for a better future and the ability to effect change in their own lives and those around them. Together, we can reignite hope where it has diminished, empowering children to build confidence and work towards a more promising future.

Have you ever heard the saying ... "DONT BE BLINDED BY LOVE"? Love is not blind; it simply enables us to see things others cannot. When love blinds you, you see only the beauty in someone, not their flaws. Blinded by love, did you notice the warning signs? Love has a way of blinding us to the truth. Love is a blindfold that we willingly wear, not wanting to see the imperfections. In love, our vision is clouded by emotions, making us blind to reality. To be blinded by love is to lose sight of oneself. Love is a blindfold that only comes off when it’s too late. STOP GENDER BASED VIOLENCE TODAY !!!!
