Last August, during extremist attacks on the Christian community in Jaranwala, one woman’s water pump was stolen.
As there is no public water system in her community, she needed a water pump, or well. Without her own well access, she had to use a neighbor’s water pump.
Because the pumps run on electricity, which is very expensive in Pakistan, it cost the neighbor extra to give her water.
It was also very difficult to carry the heavy water from their house to hers.
Now, thanks to World Compassion Fellowship, she and her family have received a new water pump complete with a frame to prevent future theft.
Small humanitarian projects such as this can drastically improve the quality of life for religious minorities. They are just one way that we strive to end cycles of poverty for those in dire need in Pakistan.
