In February, Christian rickshaw driver, Imran,* drove through a religiopolitical protest.
Those involved saw an inscription on his rickshaw indicating that he was a Christian and set it on fire. The rickshaw was now completely destroyed.
Imran is the only provider for his wife, two sons, and two daughters, and he had no other source or means of income. The situation could have forced his children to begin working instead of attending school.
Thanks to your generous support, we raised enough $500 for him to purchase another used rickshaw.
He will now be able to continue providing for his family and his children can continue their education.
He is very grateful to RAM and our supporters for your generosity.
