Subject Line: Thanks for joining us
Hi <<First Name>>,
Welcome to the Shining Light International community! Thanks for your interest in this life-changing work.Illiteracy, poverty, and intolerance are some of the biggest enemies faced in northern Pakistan. For generations children have been born into families where parents cannot afford to send them to school. Without education, people are often destined to a life of poverty and hopelessness.
We believe the people of northern Pakistan deserve a brighter future.
That’s why we build and support local schools, providetraining, and promotecommunitydevelopment that break cycles of poverty. Through engaging and empowering communities, we aim to expand education into every district in the region. Today:
- 700+ Pakistani women who never received skills training or an education have graduated from our vocational and business training program—allowing them to feed their families and send their children to school.
- Over 750 students from preschool–10th grade are enrolled in the Shining Light Academy, receiving a quality education.
- Over 400 Gujjar boys and girls are attending school for the first time in their people group’s history! Their parents, up to 90% who are illiterate, are also learning to read—opening up new job opportunities and reducing cycles of poverty.
Hope during COVID-19
SLI is continuing to provide crucial support and meet practical needs during the pandemic. In 2020, thanks to prayers, encouragement, and financial support, SLI provided food relief to 416 families and retained all programs.
