Dua Zehra has drawn widespread attention after choosing to donate her pocket money to help Ibrahim’s father in his ongoing campaign to install lids on open manholes. Her simple act has been praised as a reminder that anyone can contribute to community safety, even in small ways.
The campaign began after several incidents across different cities where open manholes caused injuries and, in some cases, fatal accidents. Ibrahim’s father started raising awareness by visiting neighborhoods, speaking with residents, and urging local authorities to take action. He also encouraged people to support the effort by reporting uncovered manholes and helping fund safe covers in areas where delays are common.
Dua’s decision to step forward shows how strongly the issue has touched the public. She said she wanted to help because she often hears about children and adults getting hurt due to uncovered manholes. Her donation, though modest, reflects growing concern among young people who want safer streets and better conditions for their communities.
Social activists have welcomed her gesture. Many said it shows that change begins when people care enough to act. They also hope her involvement will motivate others, especially students, to take part in local safety drives.
Several neighborhoods have already seen improvements after community supported efforts. Reports show that dozens of manholes have been covered in recent months through joint work by volunteers and municipal teams.
Dua’s gesture serves as a reminder that solutions do not always require large budgets. Sometimes, they begin with a single act of kindness that encourages others to join in.
