Our Programs and Areas of Service

Christian welfare programs in Pakistan that bring together education, spiritual encouragement and practical care. We tell you plainly which work is under way and which is still planned.

Six Areas of Service

One Purpose, Different Stages

Not every program operates at the same scale. Our education and Sunday school concern began among children in brick kiln communities, and other areas are priorities we hope to develop.

How Our Programs Connect

Caring for the Whole Person

A hungry child struggles to learn, and a family under pressure struggles to plan ahead. We want immediate care and long term opportunity to work together, with Christian compassion behind both.

Questions

Questions About Our Programs

Do families need to be Christian to receive help?

No. ZAWF is openly Christian, and prayer and biblical teaching are part of who we are, but humanitarian help is based on need and is never conditional on religious participation.

Are all six programs running today?

No. Each program above is marked In progress or Planned. Planned areas are goals we hope to pursue as needs, partners and resources allow.

How can a church support a program?

Start with a conversation. We can discuss real needs, a practical plan and how designated support would be reported. Visit our ministry partnerships page to begin.

How We Decide What to Do Next

You might wonder why three areas are marked as planned. It’s because we’d rather grow slowly and honestly than open more programs than we can look after.

Before Anything New Begins

  • We listen to the community and confirm the need.
  • We check that qualified people can lead it safely.
  • We make sure resources and approvals are in place.
  • We plan how we’d report on it, and how it could last.

To understand the thinking behind this, read our vision and mission. If you’d like to help a program grow, you can give or talk with us about partnership.

Help this work grow

Prayer, partnership and practical support all make a difference.
