KARACHI: Two siblings Ayaan and Anabiya, who were found after going missing from Karachi’s North Nazimabad area, have been enrolled in Ziauddin School.

Ayaan and Anabiya had not been attending school since the outbreak of the corona pandemic. Both children could only receive education up to the first and second grades.

The educational expenses of Ayaan and Anabiya will be borne by the Ziauddin Trust, and on the instructions of Dr. Asim Hussain, both children will be provided free education from elementary school to graduation.
