Keeping Families Together: Supporting Widow-Led Homes in Punjab, Pakistan
This month, we are celebrating a powerful impact in Punjab, Pakistan — the support of five widow-led households, caring for a total of 18 children. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, these families have the stability they need to stay together, rather than facing the heartbreaking choice of sending children away to extended relatives or orphanages.
Through the provision of food, school fees, and pastoral care, the children are not only surviving — they are thriving. With the steady presence and love of their mothers, these young lives are blossoming academically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Each school day attended, each meal shared, and each prayer offered is building a foundation for a better tomorrow. These are not just acts of kindness — they are investments in a future where every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Bethel Church of Pakistan and Pastor Saleem for their faithful partnership and hands-on ministry. Their dedication and love have been instrumental in reaching these families with hope, practical help, and encouragement.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who makes this life-changing work possible. Together, we are keeping families united, nurturing dreams, and creating lasting hope in Punjab.
May the Lord bless you!
Please note that Pastoral care is provided to these families as our partners demonstrate the Gospel through your kind support.
We thank our local partner in Punjab, Pakistan, for their efforts to provide for the needs of Orphans & Widows in their community. We have served with this team since 2011. As we continue this effort it is important for us to secure the monthly support needed for this current level of aid so we can grow this partnership by serving additional families. This month, we suspended support for 11 widow-led households based on resources Many more widow-led households are in need of aid.
Support is needed for the 11 families that we had to suspend this month. We need to secure the needed $1,100 monthly restart this program that will include all of the families who started with us in January. Due to our resource availability, we notified the Bethel Church of Pakistan in December that support beyond the provision for March would be suspended due to a lack of funding. We do have some limited support that allows us to support a few families moving forward. We can also quickly increase the number of children served if resources are available.
Global Orphan Relief (GO!) has been serving orphaned children since 2005, and as a result of this effort, widows, families, and entire communities are transformed through our Home-based Care initiative. The care provided creates a ripple effect through the entire community as we demonstrate God’s love for His people.
