Missing Person Service

Social problems cause a large number of children leave their homes or get separated from their families during emergencies. Similarly, mentally retarded people who can't get back to their homes, wander around the streets. Edhi Foundation either uses its wireless network, state radio and TV channels or arranges local announcements, advertisements in the press and thereby manages to return thousands of such people to their homes. Similarly, unidentified dead bodies are kept in cold mortuaries and all efforts are made to identify the next of kin. This service is also available to Pakistanis living abroad and is being coordinated through Pakistan embassies or offices of the Foundation abroad.
