In Pakistan, Christians are considered second-class citizens and are discriminated against in every aspect of life. Church leaders can be arrested if they don’t abide by the authorities’ wishes. These arrests act as warnings to the Christian minority and intimidates them further. The COVID-19 crisis led to an increase of aid being provided to Christian day laborers only if they converted to Islam.
Pakistan’s infamous blasphemy laws continue to be leveraged to accuse non-Muslims (or minority Muslim sects) even a false accusation can lead to mob violence.
Additionally, a silent epidemic of kidnappings, forced marriages and forced conversion of Christian girls and women continue to take place in Pakistan. And this all is happening those who are looking after by their own parents, what would be the condition of the orphans and abandoned children. EROS Orphanage is entrusted this vision by God ‘to support orphans and abandoned children in every way in community and bring them in Christian culture to make them a true believer and sustainable in society’
EROS Orphanage is a biblically mandated Christian organization whose purpose is directed in James 1:27, which states“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress.”
I Mrs. Sana Shafiq has been a Sunday school teacher since 2010 after getting water baptize. During my Sunday school carrier when I visit with my church leader I saw orphans do not join Sunday school may be nobody pay attention on them, I often saw these type of children wandering in the streets. Whenever I see them different thoughts about their future come to my mind. Who will be responsible if these orphans get addicted of drugs, if they become snatchers, pick pockets, if they become thieves, if they become murderers, if they become smuggler, if they become criminal? I thought struck to my mind is it not me, who should take responsibility these innocent children who do not know what is wrong or right? I committed I will take responsibility to fulfill the basic needs with education in a well disciplined and the better educational institute of the area. Since Nov. 2019 we took step just by faith and started a school EROS Grammar School where Orphans are totally free and from 2021 we took responsibility of lunch for them. Now we have some children, we think according to their circumstances shelter is compulsory for them. We are looking for a rented building in the locality for EROS Orphanage shelter in which we will take orphans from age upto 16 years. We are providing them free education already which will be upto Grade-10. Please keep EROS Orphanage and EROS Grammar School in your prayers.
