A day in the life of Geeta

At the Edhi Foundation shelter in Karachi’s Mithadar, activists are working to find the hometown of an Indian girl who can neither speak nor hear.

First brought to an Edhi Centre in Lahore, the girl was moved to the shelter in Karachi where Bilquis Edhi named her ‘Geeta’ and has become quite close to the girl.

Here's a look at Geeta's life in pictures in Karachi's Bilquis Edhi Foundation.
