Use one clear, recent photo, the name and age, where and when they were last seen, what they were wearing, and a number to call, and share it quickly in local groups. Waseela makes the poster for free, for a missing person, a lost pet or a lost item.
What to include
A clear, recent photo. A title with the name, and the age for a person, such as "Missing: Ahmed, 9". The area and city, and the date and time they were last seen. A description: what they were wearing, how they look, and anything else that helps someone recognise them. A number someone can call at any hour.
The photo
Pick a photo where the face is clear and looks like they do now. You can adjust it on the form before making the poster.
A reward
You can offer a reward on the poster if you want to.
Sharing it
Share the poster straight away in WhatsApp and Facebook groups for the area, with family and neighbours, and with mosques and shops nearby. Sign in to publish it with its own link, and switch on "Show in Active posts" so more people see it. Waseela doesn't verify posts yet, so people judge yours by who shares it and what it says.
Tell the police
For a missing person, report it to the police as well, on 15.
When they are found
Close the post from My appeals, so people stop looking.
