(Dunya News) – Determined to bring better days to the poverty stricken lives of children, a group of people are putting in their efforts to lighten up the dark days of Karachi’s young prawn-fishers.
While Karachi’s Machhar Colony is well-known for being a dump due to the garbage that swallows up the area, a non-government organisation is working hard to discover the hidden gems and change their lives.

Educating the young prawn-fishers of Machhar Colony, the organisation has handed out not just books but is also helping them learn gymnastics.
The children owing to the NGO’s efforts are not only forgetting the distress of labour, but are also making their mark in co-curricular activities like gymnastics.

The children of the colony that has a 60 percent population of Bengalis and Burmese, after being put on a better track are now hopeful for an improved future. The management of the NGO says that if provided with the authorities’ support, the children can make the country proud globally.
