Our Story
Pakistan is one of the most difficult countries in the world to be a Christian orphan. Christian children are often not valued by society where Christians make up a tiny percentage of the population. Lily of the Valley Children's Home is a project of Influential Missions & Outreach Programs Inc, a Not-for-Profit organisation that supports Christian orphans and widows, who struggle to survive.
Our Project
Lily of the Valley Children's Home commenced operations in mid 2015, and is currently home to 30 orphans and vulnerable children. The Children's Home is run by Asher and Sadaf who provide a loving caring environment for the children, meals and schooling. The greatest current need for the Children's Home is a vehicle - a Suzuki Bolan - this will allow the children to be driven to school safely. It is not safe for many children, especially Christian girls to walk to school and a vehicle would provide them increased security and the ability to concentrate on their learning.
Why It Matters
Safe travel to school is critical for these children to gain an education. And an education is critical to enable these children to break the cycle of generational poverty. Our children have aspirations to be doctors, nurses, lawyers and teachers and will one day help to change the future of Pakistan.
Our Budget
We have identified a Suzuki Bolan Cargo Van as the best vehicle for our needs. We would like to raise $6000 to purchase a vehicle to provide a secure passage to school for our children.
How You Can Help
You can help us by making a donation towards the cost of the vehicle or its running costs. If you'd like to help in a different way we currently have a number of children in the home who are waiting to receive sponsorship. Just AUD $50 a month will provide a home, shelter and an education for one child.
