Sobia lived a life with her family until the day it all fell apart. The family was in debt to a landowner who controlled their lives because they had taken out a loan from him. It was difficult for the family to pay him back, so problems arose that the landowner took advantage of. He wanted the family's daughter as a kind of "slave". Sobia's father died in the fight against the landowner. Sobia's mother and brother also died. The only one Sobia has left is her sister Saba. They both now live at the Father's Care Orphanage in Lahore, which the Danish European Mission secured help for in August 2010.

The 60 girls, each affected by life's injustices in their own way, have again received help from the Danish European Mission. They are all deeply grateful for the basic necessities such as clothes, food, beds, bedding they received on August 18. The orphanage has also been equipped with kitchenware, a refrigerator and two ovens. We have also contributed money for electricity, water and gas, as well as a guard to help protect the girls from intruders.

All of this emphasizes that the girls are valuable in God's eyes and that a new life for the girls has begun.

"Our teacher holds daily devotions and every morning and evening we pray for the Danish European Mission and for those who send us their love and remember us in a busy world," says Sobia.

Pakistan has many problems right now, both with the floods and with the Taliban trying to gain more and more influence over the impoverished population. Therefore, it is particularly important that we reach the most vulnerable in the country - women and the Christian minority.
