KARACHI:


Sindh government is very serious about mapping out street children across the province to assess their exact numbers and presence in each area, said social welfare department secretary Noor Mohammad Leghari, while discussing the arrangements being made for Universal Children’s Day 2013.


Talking to a delegation of Azad Foundation accompanied by Chris Rose, the co-founder of Street Child World Cup 2014, the secretary said provincial government will finalise the Sindh Child Protection Authority Structure, where there will be a separate street children wing that will take care of their health and education.
