They are provided with free food, shelter, boarding facility and quality education in the renowned educational intuitions of the area. So far, over 30 PSH have been established all over Pakistan in which almost more than 3200 little angels (3100 boys, 100 girls) are spending life of hope, felicitation and respect.” He added “our mission and vision is to reach each and every poor orphan, we are by establishing rebuild and renovating “Pakistan Sweet Homes” giving a safe place to stay.”

Then a group of kids were interviewed individually. A girl from PSH was asked about the environment in here, she stated, “we cannot have a place like this anywhere in the world, we belong here and this is our home”. Another girl was asked if she would want to go back to her house? She answered, saying that we cannot get such facilities there but we love all that we have gotten from PSH.
Kids from age of 6 to 12 were so passionate about their future achievements and goals. They were confident which showed that they are having the best of all in PSH. A little adorable girl named Mariam stated that, she wants to be a doctor when she grows up. Most of the kids said that they either want to join army or be a doctor.
The kids were asked if they miss their parents and do they feel unhappy in PSH, so most of the kids had a positive answer. Moreover, kids are given a very nice and comfortable environment which keeps them motivated and healthy. They have all kinds of facilities for kids such as sports, health and education etc up to the mark.
After meeting khan and his children we hope to see the kids have a bright future and in the light of all that we know, it can be said with a surety that these little angels are in the right hands.
