The Child Protection & Welfare Bureau (CPWB) is an organization in Pakistan that provides various services—food, clothing, shelter, and education—to destitute and neglected children under one roof. The Bureau aspires to:
- Rehabilitate street and beggar children
- Support children’s families for rehabilitation of children
- Provide legal and other support to children in jails and rehabilitation after release
A destitute and neglected child is produced before the Child Protection Court, where the Presiding Officer interviews the child. The Presiding Officer then orders the child’s rehabilitation in one or more of the following areas:
- Shelter
- Medical examination
- Physical therapy
- School administration
- Family Tracing
- Adoption
- Reunification etc.
