From surviving to thriving!
This is the Shazad family who were recently redeemed after 10 years in the brick kilns of Pakistan. The father has started a tuktuk business and other family members have employment as well. They are loving their new life of freedom. Visit freeslaves.org and check out other families that are waiting for this to become their reality too. Give to love and love to give!
30 years enslaved - a life sentence for doing no wrong.
William (senior) took a loan from the brick kiln 30 years ago to pay for his wife's medical treatment. They had a son together while in slavery but she subsequently died. William's son has never lived outside the brick kilns or known what freedom is. Imagine that? We are halfway there to setting these two free - $800 remains on their debt. Can you help?

About Freeslaves.org
Freeslaves.org is run by Acacia Projects, a registered NZ based charity (CC54139). We work in Pakistan to redeem families from slavery and establish them in work. We also run five schools for slave and very poor children, and support a number of refugee families who have been forced to flee due to violence and persecution.
If you'd like to support us, please visit freeslaves.org/, share this post, or leave us a message. We'd love to connect.
Turning dreams into reality - the smiles say it all!
On the first day of Spring, the season of new life, Freeslaves was able to set eight families free from bonded labour slavery in the brick kilns of Pakistan. Thanks to our US and NZ donors, that's a total of 37 people who are now able to begin a new life of hope and freedom.

Outram students lead the way to freedom!
A few weeks ago, we posted about two Outram school students who sold baking and slime to raise $150 towards setting a family free. In true Kiwi style, other donors got in behind and by the end of the weekend, we had enough money to free the Allah Wasaya family! They had been in bonded labour slavery for the past two years but are now able to begin a new life and dream of a new future.
Thanks girls for leading the way and changing the world!
Two amazing Outram Primary School Students raise $150 to help free this family!
The Allah Wasaya family have spent the last two years in slavery after taking a loan to pay for the medical care of Mr Wasaya’s father. Two young girls at Outram School have done an incredible effort and raised $150 for the family by selling baking and slime!
We only need another $490 to get this family free. Let's do it! You can donate here: freeslaves.org/allah-wasaya-family-4-people-420-usd/
REACHING NEW HEIGHTS IN EDUCATION!
Check out the new bench seats that Freeslaves.org have purchased for one of our village schools. These students were so enthusiastic to help with the new addition to their classroom.
FROM MAKING BRICKS TO MAKING SCHOLARS!
At the beginning of this year, Mr Sadiq and his family were trapped in bonded labour slavery after taking a loan to pay off a business debt 2 years ago. Thanks to a US donor, this family were set free in January and Freeslaves was able to employ Mr Sadiq as a teacher in a freeslaves-sponsored school in Chattain Wala (15 students) and in Katloil (25 students). He's doing a great job!
