Sovereign World Trust - resourcing Christian leaders in poor countries

Help for Starfish, Asia

A unique service for Lahore

Starfish Asia supports schools and homes for disadvantaged children in Pakistan. In many areas the Christian minority population face prejudice and often lack the means to educate their children (although Starfish schools also educate many Muslim, Hindu and Sikh children).

Projects are run independently by trusted local people who have a vision to bring about change in their communities. The focus is on education with the goal to strengthen communities to eventually support themselves.

This month, Sovereign World Trust have been able to help Starfish Asia to support a local Christian community in Lahore, Parkistan by supplying books to an unusual book shop.
