In this busy world, where everyone is pledge to their own
lives. People are concerned to only themselves. They don’t even care about
their neighbors, relatives and not even their own children. So whenever any
illegitimate children is born in this society, their parents throw them in
garbage and let them be the prey of street-dogs and other predators.
But people like Zuleikha Sahto are also present in the
world, who dedicate their whole life in helping others. The lady from Tando
Mohammed Khan has become the voice for illegitimate and stray kids, to whom
society show disgrace, hate and are not even accepted by their families. She
adopt them and make them able to live on their own. Inspite of having very
little resources, she has foster many illegitimate kids, has provided them
shelter, good education and has become their guardian.
I know her from my childhood, as we live in the same city.
We children used to call her Benazir because her personality and way of walking
resembles to her. In those days, she roam around the city to ask help for the children
she has taken supervision of.
After interviewing her, I come to know that she along with
her daughter Razia work for the upbringing of these children and her son Riyaz
who is an employee support them through his income and fulfill their medicinal
needs. She has been working for these kids for 20 years. Due to her work she
got identity in the city and with support of the peoples she won municipality
elections two times.
She told me that the motive behind her struggle is to aware
peoples and make them realize that the illegal children are also human beings.
They also have right to live like other beings. These innocent children haven’t
done any sin but their parents did. So why do we abuse and mistreat them? She
discuss her idea with Pir Ahmed Jan Sirhandi, the president of human rights of
the city at that time, who was engaged in these kind of issues and has
approached to media and many institutions for the purpose of human rights.
After his guidance she started doing action on her ideology.
She has named her home as “Zuleikha Madadgar Center”. And has placed a cradle outside of the
door for these illegitimate kids so that their parents can put them in this cradle
and do not throw them in garbage.
She faced many difficulties in her path but she solved them
merrily. And she get happy after watching these children living a better life.
She told me that she has never made them realize that they are adopted. She
considers these kids as her own children.
Talking about upbringing and education of the children. One
girl got job in NGO’s and after that she got selected as LPC- lady police constable.
And the second girl has recently completed intermediate and is in search of
good job. Eight other kids are studying in school, one is infant and one is
disabled. These all kids live together like siblings, share same home, same
caste and same religion.
After asking about any help she got, she told me that not a
single institution like Baiit-ul-mal, Zakat foundation, Income support program
has helped her. She has helped herself and raised these naïve children by the
grace of Allah. She also narrated the poetry of Shah Latif:
جنھين ڏاند نه ٻج، تن پڻ تنھنجو آسرو
پو۽ اڀارين سج اول ڏيئن ڪنن کي.
Allah almighty has given her honor to serve the mankind.
She’s 65yrs old now. In her whole life, she has just received a shield of honor
from radio FM 100.2 and verbal appreciations in many programs and functions.
And in last, she delivered the message to all common,
uncommon people that: help the orphans, poor and needy persons, bring them near
you. God will bring you near him on the day of resurrection.
