Update From Royal Kingdom Campus - Pakistan
My name is sister Shumaila Khan and we are an international campus of CrownLife International called Royal Kingdom Ministry. Our ministry serves to help uplift the Christian community which has been treated as second citizens in Pakistan and are facing discrimination, Injustices and intolerances since the Pakistan came into being.
Our Target Group:
Brick-lin industry is the most marginalize and neglected industry in Pakistan. The people who work their are living under very below line of poverty and all the family members are used to engage working 18 hrs a day to earn their bread.
They are called “Bounded laborers” as they are working unofficially as slaves because they are working from generation to generation. Getting their kids educated is not a basic right but a luxury. Sending kids to school is often seen as a waste of man power and losing a source of income. They live in poor health conditions as they work daily in dust and mud and they get related diseases.
We are working in Chak#295G/B, Sheran Wala, Toba Tek Singh. We are addressing 25 to 30 families in the village and total beneficiaries are 70 to 85 kids. They get Sunday as an off-day and we take the freedom to reach out to them and tp spend time with them, conduct prayer meetings, counseling sessions with parents and food and coaching sessions for kids.
What we do:
Prayer meetings. Food and nutrition programs. Parents counseling regarding the kid's education. We providing basic school supplies and coaching.
Challenges: Poverty
Poverty is the main hazard for us to work with these kids in need. Convincing the parents to the point that only the education and love of God is their only hope is a real challenge for us and within time, we are succeeding gradually.
Brick-Kiln owners:
Brick-Kiln owners consider us as a threat to their business and often try to threaten us and they always try to trick our work but we have trust in God that He is using us for His glory and to help the most needy people and Christian families.
Future plans:
Constructing/renting a building to establish a school and skill Center catering to the deeply marginalized girls and women.
