The Reality

A Hard Truth

The Hidden Dangers Facing Women and Children

Women and girls living in the brick-kiln yards face dangers that go far beyond poverty. Sexual assault and coercion by kiln owners or their employees is a common reality, and survivors are rarely in a position to report it. In some cases, a woman becomes pregnant as a result of the assault, and she is left to carry both the child and the stigma alone. Cases are rarely pursued by local authorities, and the men responsible are seldom investigated and almost never prosecuted. Physical violence is also routine: men are beaten for not working fast enough, and children are struck by the owner or his workers. Many women are abandoned as well, left with no income and no protection.

Our Progress

Our Impact in 2026: Lifting Up Children

At the beginning of 2026, God placed a burden on our hearts to begin a mission called Lifting Up Children — not only to free families trapped in bonded labor at brick kilns, but to give them hope, dignity, and the opportunity to build a better future.

Our Approach

Not Just Debt Relief — Lasting Transformation

Our Mission

Restoring hope, dignity, and independence

To restore hope, dignity, and financial independence to brick kiln families by providing practical opportunities that enable them to support themselves with confidence and purpose.

Our Vision

  • Free from overwhelming debt
  • Financially independent
  • Able to provide for their children
  • Living with dignity, not dependency
  • Growing spiritually and economically
  • Free education for the children and adults
Transparency

Every Dollar Accounted For

We know that giving toward work in Pakistan requires trust. Many faithful people have given generously to overseas causes and later found that they had no way of knowing where their money actually went — and that experience leaves a mark. We take that seriously.

Redeemer's Restoration International commits to full transparency with every dollar entrusted to us. Funds designated for a family go to that family. We document each disbursement, keep receipts and records on the ground, and report back to our supporters so you can see the outcome of your generosity — not just take our word for it.

We hold to the standard Paul set when he handled the church's collection:

“For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of man.”
2 Corinthians 8:21, NIV

Being honest before God is the beginning. Being visibly accountable to you is how we honor the trust you've placed in this ministry.

"Every family set free is another testimony of God's love. Every child given an education is another life transformed. And every debt that is paid is another chain of slavery broken for generations to come."
