Support Christian schools in Pakistan
Children from Christian families often find that going to state-run schools in Pakistan brings extra tensions and pressures simply because they are Christians. Even at primary school, Christian children are aware that they are different from their Muslim fellow-pupils and they often face discrimination, name-calling and bullying.
The
four girls pictured faced protests from Muslim students when they began
secondary school - the Muslim girls refused to allow the Christian
girls to use the drinking glasses in the school leading to the Christian
girls being forced to bring their own glasses to school.
Such problems facing young and vulnerable children has led to the establishment of Christian schools where children are treated with love and care.
Church
in Chains partner Barnabas Fund supports many Christian schools in
Pakistan including the school where Asia Bibi's two young daughters
(pictured) study.
"Our daughter felt under great pressure as the only Christian in her class in the state-run school. She was tense and anxious about going to school. Now, at the Christian school she is comfortable and really enjoys school. Her confidence has grown 200%" - testimony of a Christian parent.
