ISLAMABAD: Under the new policy of the Ehsaas program, the Poverty Alleviation and Social Safety Division (PASSD) will facilitate 4.2 million orphans across the country.
An official of PASSD has said that orphans are facing numerous challenges on a daily basis, adding that special attention would be given to their needs.
The official added that these children need homes where they can seek protection, get access to some of the basic services and have some form of guidance to support them in their lives.
