Young Christian Waseem holds a 3-year diploma in baking and fast food. He was running a small setup in Jaranwala selling fast food last August when a mob attacked his town over blasphemy allegations.
During the attack, not only was his house burnt but also his baking and fast food setup, including all the equipment. He did not have the money to buy new machinery.
At the time, RAM assisted Waseem’s family with a food kit.
Now, thanks to the partnership of World Compassion Fellowship, Waseem has received enough assistance to repair his home and get a new food cart.
Losing economic instability puts Christians at high risk of sliding into a cycle of poverty. Children may have to leave school to help provide for the family or families may resort to borrowing money from brick kiln factories.
Restoring Waseem’s livelihood is just one of the ways we assisted with recovery efforts in Jaranwala following the attacks, thanks to World Compassion Fellowship.
