ISLAMABAD: A total of 20 orphans from North Waziristan Agency (NWA) were admitted to Pakistan Sweet Home (PSH) on Thursday.

Managing Director Pakistan Baitul Mal Barrister Abid Wahid Sheikh paid a visit to the IDPs camp in Bannu and decided to bring the destitute children to Islamabad, says a press release issued here on Friday.

At Pakistan Sweet Home, the children would be provided free residence, food and other basic facilities, including education.

Mr Sheikh said the menace of terrorism could be eliminated from the country by educating the poor and homeless children.

He expressed the hope that these children would become responsible citizens and contribute to the progress and prosperity of the country.
