		Karachi-The Edhi Foundation is the known place for all those destitute, homeless and the abandoned people irrespective of their caste, class and creed.
		Under this same banner lies the very foundation of homeless and abandoned babies, these babies who previously were disregarded to such an extent that they were either brutally murdered or left in the open to die either in the garbage dump or at an unknown destination with little hope of survival.
		Out of these many babies are mainly girls, nobody gets to know what is the basic thought that occurs in their kin’s mindset which leads to abandoning these babies; could it be poverty, could it be the element of being an unwanted child in the society we live in.
