Two couples tie knot at CPB

LAHORE : The Child Protection Bureau (CPB), under the guidance of Chairperson Sarah Ahmad, organised its first-ever wedding ceremony in which two couples, who were brought up in the bureau, tied the knot.

The couples who tied the knot include Aamir and Farah, as well as Zubair and Nazia. Notably, one of the couples is hearing and speech impaired. Chairperson Sarah Ahmad shared that, for the first time, the bureau facilitated the marriage of two boys and two girls who were raised there.She stated that this is a significant achievement for the bureau, as it not only provides protection to children but also creates opportunities for them to move forward in life.

With the bureau’s support, these couples are now capable of leading a dignified life. The children had no information regarding their parents or guardians and spent over ten years in the bureau. Today, they are over 20 years of age.

Sarah highlighted that the bureau provided them not only with education but also taught them various skills, enabling them to begin this new chapter in their lives. Additionally, the Bureau has secured employment opportunities for both couples.She emphasised that despite the challenges, these children are now able to live dignified lives thanks to the efforts of the Child Protection Bureau. The bureau continues to provide not only care and upbringing but also prepares children for a better future. Sarah said that we are very grateful to QYT for sponsoring the event decor.
