HELP FREE THE WARIS FAMILY!

FREEDOM FOR ONLY $639! In 2019, Waris began working at a brick kiln, surrounded by neighbors already trapped in its grueling labor. Life took a joyful turn when God blessed him with twin daughters, but tragedy struck when one fell gravely ill at just 1 year old. Desperate for medical help, Waris took his first loan from the kiln owner to try and save his daughter’s life. This loan became a trap, binding them to slavery at the kiln until the debt is repaid.

Heartbreakingly, that precious daughter passed away, leaving the family shattered and Waris unable to repay the debt. Struggling to feed his loved ones while paying crushing interest, he sank deeper into bondage. When his wife recently became pregnant and neared delivery, he had no choice but to take a second loan from the same owner. Now, for more than seven years, the Waris family has been ensnared in bonded slavery, toiling endlessly under harsh conditions.

Their home is a stark symbol of their despair—no walls to shield them from the elements, no security for his children. Waris dreams of a better life and escaping the kiln’s clutches. Above all, he yearns for his surviving 6-year-old daughter and the rest of his family to grow up in freedom, unburdened by the chains that bind them.

$639 will clear the debt (including interest) and set them free from this modern-day slavery. 

THE SHAMON FAMILY IS FREE!

UPDATE: 1/21/2026 The Shamon Family is FREE! 

After receiving their freedom, the Shamon family have been going to the surrounding villages to share the good news and tell about what God did for them. They are boldy telling the people of Pakistan to have faith as miracles DO happen. All glory to God and our savior Jesus Christ! 


FREEDOM FOR ONLY $820! Shamon is a hardworking man who labored alongside his father in a brick kiln. His father took a small loan to cover emergency expenses, such as medical bills, food, and living costs. This loan became a trap, binding them to slavery at the kiln until the debt is repaid.

After his father's death, the full burden fell on Shamon. He now works 10–14 hours daily for very low wages that barely cover the interest, while the debt grows due to high interest rates.

His entire family, including his children, are forced to work. If they don't meet demands, the owner beats the children and punishes them.

$820 will clear the debt (including interest) and set them free from this modern-day slavery. 

There are more families stuck in slavery at the brick factory in Pakistan and we need YOUR help to set them ALL free!
