THE NEED

Children Trapped in Work, Not Wonder

In Pakistan, countless children spend their days working in brickyards, fields, or factories to help repay their families’ debts. Instead of holding pencils, they carry bricks. Instead of learning, they labor. Without access to education, these children remain trapped in poverty, cut off from opportunity, and vulnerable to exploitation.

THE APPROACH

Schools That Open the Door to Hope

GO InterNational partners with local believers to create evening schools where working children can receive an education and experience the love of Christ. In these classrooms, children learn to read, write, and dream of a life beyond labor. Teachers not only educate but also disciple - showing these students that their lives have dignity and purpose in Christ.

THE DIFFERENCE

From Kilns to Classrooms

Already, children once enslaved to labor are discovering the joy of learning. They return home sharing Bible stories, new words, and new hope. Families are witnessing transformation through their children’s lives. A generation once silenced by work is beginning to find its voice through education and the gospel.

THE INVITATION

Give a Child the Gift of Learning

You can break the cycle of labor by opening the door to education and discipleship. Your support provides teachers, supplies, and safe classrooms where children can discover Christ and a brighter future.

Together, we can do whatever it takes to bring both learning and lasting hope to the next generation.
