This is a touching story
about a poor and indigent family from a
remote area of Hundur Yasin, District Ghizer.
The family is comprised of seven girls.
Their father passed away five years ago in
an accident.
 This
was a catastrophe for the entire family as
there was no one to feed them, no income
source and not enough cultivable land for
farming. The family lives in anguish and
deplorable conditions.
The children are between six
and forty years of age. Due to abject
poverty, the girls couldn’t get education,
so all the older girls are illiterate. The
older girls have crossed their age of
marriage, and are still unmarried.
Seeing the plight of this
family, four sisters are now housed at the
CEENA’s Orphanage. Two younger children,
Jamila and Diana are pursuing their
education there. One girl is mentally
retarded; she has been admitted to school
for Special Children to rehabilitate her.
The other sister has been employed at
CEENA’s Orphanage to enable her to earn some
money for her family and be closer to the
special needs sister.
As a result of their
impoverished condition, the older girls
couldn’t get married primarily due to their
economic and educational background.
 Recently
CEENA extended a helping hand for the
remaining sisters by providing them sewing
machines and opening a tailoring shop to
enable them to earn some income for their
family. In addition, CEENA is also looking
for some other options to get this family
out of poverty.
Through helping to helpless,
CEENA is making a difference in lives of so
many. It’s our hope that they will foresee a
bright future in the days ahead. |
