All God's Children - School & Farm Tent City Kids

This problem is growing without much intervention.

Recent reported cases

1) Maria Shahbaz / Maria Bibi — Lahore, Punjab — 2025–2026
A 13-year-old Christian girl from Lahore was allegedly abducted in July 2025, converted, and married to a 30-year-old Muslim man. On March 25, 2026, Pakistan’s Federal Constitutional Court reportedly upheld the marriage, rejecting her father’s petition. The ruling triggered protests by Christian groups and warnings that it could encourage similar cases.

2) Saneha Sharif — Sialkot, Punjab — January–March 2025
Saneha Sharif, a 14-year-old Christian girl, was reportedly abducted outside her home in the Korpur area of Sialkot on January 9, 2025. Reports said her family feared she would be forcibly converted and married. She was later rescued and reunited with her family after nearly two months.

3) Saba Shafique — Lahore, Punjab — January–March 2025
Saba Shafique, reported as 12 years old, was allegedly abducted from her home in Lahore on January 5, 2025, forced to convert to Islam, and married to her abductor. Church in Chains reported that police recovered her on March 5, 2025.

4) Ariha Gulzar — Okara, Punjab — January 2025
Ariha Gulzar, a 12-year-old Christian girl from Okara District, was reportedly abducted on January 20, 2025, by a 40-year-old neighbor and two accomplices after they forced their way into the family home. Reports say her family alleged threats, including threats to sell her to traffickers. As of the March 2025 report I found, she had not been returned to her family.

5) Hindu minors in Sindh — June–July 2025
USCIRF reported several 2025 Sindh cases: in June, parents of three Hindu girls and a male cousin accused a local teacher of abducting the four minors and forcibly converting them; in a separate Shahdadpur case, two minor Hindu girls were allegedly abducted and forced to convert by Farhan Khaskheli, and a court reportedly required the parents to pay bonds of about 10 million rupees as a precondition for return; in July, the Sindh Human Rights Commission ordered a probe into the reported abduction and forced conversion of a Hindu girl in Badin District.

Broader pattern reported by monitors

UN experts said in April 2026 that there are “continued and widespread patterns” of abduction and forced religious conversion through marriage affecting minority women and girls in Pakistan. They specifically said that in 2025 about 75% of affected women and girls were Hindu, 25% were Christian, and almost 80% of incidents occurred in Sindh.

CSW reported that its Pakistan partners documented 94 cases in 2025, up from 83 in 2024, involving abduction, forced conversion, and forced marriage of religious-minority women and minor girls. CSW said 76% of victims were Hindu, 24% Christian, and only 18% were adults.

The strongest caution: these cases often become legally messy because abductors produce conversion certificates or nikah documents, while families claim coercion and false age claims. That is why birth records, school records, medical age assessment, and fast legal intervention are critical.

It has come to our attention that certain fundamentalist factions in Pakistan are taking young girls for underage marriage and forced conversion to Islam against their will. Here a comment from BBC;

In Pakistan, an estimated 1,000 girls from religious minorities, including Christians and Hindus, are abducted, forcibly converted to Islam, and married off to their captors each year. Victims are often as young as 12 years old, and the practice frequently involves physical abuse, sexual violence, and forced labor.

This is wholly unacceptable in ANY civilized society on many levels.

There is no Qur’anic language that supports kidnapping young girls, forcing them to convert, and making them underage brides. In fact, forced conversion is directly contradicted by Qur’an 2:256: “There shall be no compulsion in acceptance of the religion.”

The recent behavior of these fundamentalists is to take young girls, often from the Islamic schools they attend, and forcing them to marry against their own religious practices and to convert to Islam against their will or that of their family who may not even know where they've been taken.

Unfortunately local authorities too often turn the other cheek and ignore reports leaving no one to defent the child.

If you find this practice abhorrent and unacceptable, we urge you to communicate your thoughts to the Prime Minister of Pakistan, and regional authorities in parallel with reports to local police. Make it visible.

For a case involving kidnapping, forced conversion, forced marriage, child marriage, trafficking, or sexual abuse, complaints should be made in parallel, not one at a time. Start with police for the criminal case, but also notify child-protection and human-rights bodies so the case does not disappear locally.

1) Local / immediate level

Police emergency: 15
Use this first if the girl is missing, abducted, being held, threatened, or at risk. Ask for an FIR for kidnapping/abduction, illegal confinement, child marriage, trafficking, rape/sexual assault if applicable, and forced conversion/marriage. Pakistan’s police emergency number is listed as 15.

Local police station / SHO
File the report at the police station with jurisdiction over where the girl was taken from or last seen. Bring: recent photo, CNIC/B-form/birth record, school record if age is disputed, screenshots/messages, names/addresses of suspects, witnesses, and any nikah/conversion papers if available.

District Police Officer / SSP / SP Complaints
If the police station refuses to register the FIR, escalate to the district police leadership. In Punjab, the police also list an IGP Complaint Center: 1787 and emergency police 15.

2) Child-protection level

Child Protection Helpline: 1121
This is the key child-protection escalation route. Sources describe 1121 as used by Child Protection Agencies including Islamabad, Punjab, Sindh, and KP child-protection bodies.

Punjab Child Protection & Welfare Bureau
Punjab lists Child Help Line: 1121, phone 042-99250276, WhatsApp 0335-5751121, and email contacts through its official page.

National Commission on the Rights of Child — NCRC
For any child-rights violation, including abduction, forced marriage, or coercion, report to the NCRC. Its site lists “Report a Child Rights Violation” at 051-9202733, and its complaint form includes victim age, incident date, and type of violation.

3) Provincial women / human-rights offices

Punjab Commission on the Status of Women — 1043
For women/girls facing violence, harassment, discrimination, denial of legal rights, or problems with government officials, Punjab’s women’s helpline 1043 is available 24/7 and includes legal advisors and psychosocial support.

Punjab Women Protection Authority / Women Protection Centers
Punjab lists district women protection centers, including Lahore, Rawalpindi, Bahawalpur, Khushab, Mianwali, Vehari, Sahiwal, Sialkot, Faisalabad, and others. These can help with shelter, protection, referral, and local intervention.

Sindh Human Rights Department
Sindh’s Human Rights Department has a 24-hour complaint cell for human-rights violations, with toll-free 0800-00011; other listed complaint numbers include 021-99207990 and 021-99207991.

Sindh Child Protection Authority
For child abduction, harassment, abuse, or forced marriage in Sindh, use 1121 as the child-protection helpline; Sindh Child Protection Authority communications also point people to 1121 for children in trouble.

4) National level

Ministry of Human Rights — Helpline 1099
This is the main federal government human-rights complaint channel. The Ministry says 1099 is for legal advice on human-rights violations and also refers people to the 1099 Helpline App for complaints.

Ministry of Human Rights Complaint Cell
The Ministry’s complaint-cell contact is listed as phone 051-9205862, email [email protected]
, address: Ministry of Human Rights, 9th Floor, New Pak Secretariat, Kohsar Block, Sector F-5, Islamabad.

National Commission for Human Rights — NCHR
NCHR is important when local police or officials fail to act, when there is discrimination against a religious minority, or when the case involves systemic abuse. Its complaint cell is listed at 051-9217340 and [email protected]


National Commission on the Status of Women — NCSW
For forced marriage, violence against women/girls, or institutional failure, NCSW lists a complaints email: [email protected]

5) Missing child / missing person channels

Mera Pyara / Virtual Center for Child Safety
For a missing child, reports can be made through the Mera Pyara system, including WhatsApp 0309-0000015, the official website, social media channels, and the Public Safety App.

CPLC — especially useful in Sindh/Karachi
For missing persons or children, CPLC lists 24/7 call-center helplines 1102, 021-35662222, and 021-35682222, and says to provide a recent photo and personal details.

Practical reporting sequence

For a real case, I would not rely on one office. The stronger sequence is:

Call 15 and file an FIR immediately.
Call 1121 for child protection.
Call 1099 for federal human-rights/legal complaint support.
Notify NCRC and NCHR in writing.
Notify the provincial women/human-rights department, especially Punjab 1043 or Sindh 0800-00011 depending on the province.
Send the same written complaint to all offices, with the FIR number once available.

Use clear language like:

“This is a complaint of abduction/kidnapping of a minor girl, suspected forced conversion, forced marriage, and child-rights violation. We request immediate recovery of the child, registration of FIR, medical and age verification through lawful process, protection from the accused, and production before a competent court without coercion.”

One important caution: in these cases, age evidence is critical. School records, birth certificate, B-form, baptism/church/community records, medical records, and old photos can matter because perpetrators often claim the girl is older and “converted voluntarily.”

We are gearing up for new energy in 2026. Starting by forming a BoD and a non-profit 501c3 in USA, to allow for fundraising in USA. The goal is to raise awareness and funds to start a chicken farm in Lahore to reduce poverty in the Christian community and support the school effort. See the below for more information.

All God’s Children School – Tent City Camp, Lahore, Pakistan

Our Mission

To lift children and families out of extreme poverty by providing education, food, clothing, and a safe place to learn, grounded in Christian love.

Why It Matters
In a tent camp on the edges of Lahore, Pakistan, hundreds of children live in desperate conditions—without clean water, electricity, or schooling. Many are Christian families facing job discrimination and social exclusion. Most children have never owned shoes or a schoolbook.

We started All God’s Children School to give these children a future. From classes once held on dirt ground with a single whiteboard, we want to rent a small school building, provide daily lessons in reading, writing and math, hygiene, and Christian values, and serve simple meals when resources allow.

Our Leaders
Led by Asher and Shazia, our on-the-ground partners, we currently serving multiple local communities, as many as 70 children in the past, and growing—teaching life skills, hope, and dignity. 100% of donations go directly to these children. No salaries. No overhead.
How You Can Help

We rely entirely on personal donations to keep this ministry alive. Just $10/month (really ANYTHING will help) can cover a child's school supplies, meals, and a safe space to learn.

“We don’t do this to provide tax deductions. We do this for the need.” Soon we will have a USA based 501c3 non-profit allowing us to raise funds on a larger scale to start a chicken farm providing work, income and food for these wonderful people.

Out kids have no government support, no low income subsidies, no angel philanthropist to keep them going. We REALLY NEED your help!
Donate $5 gets a kid school for a month and some food a coupl eof times a week.
Donate $25 gets one week of RENT for our school building!

Imagine what we could do with JUST 10 DONORS at $25 per week! We could help more than 50 kids each month.
Currently we are on hold for lack of funding!

We are NOT a formal notforprofit! We are just a group of people doing what we can to help homeless kids learn life skills with solid values.

Can you help us out. 100% of all donations go directly to the program. My business covers the overhead. If you can help, drop me a note!

Hello friends and family. I posted in March asking for help. The COVID virus is affecting all of us BUT, here in Lahore, the virus is not the only challenge, also food is in short supply.

We - deparately need your support. For anyone in Lahore, please post a note here to have a PM with Shazia or Asher to make a donation of rice and milk and maybe some canned goods.

If you are like me, in USA or other country, please consider making a small cash donation to help feed this mission team!

If you can send cash I can provide an account number for an online transfer or you can mail a check. We are NOT a 501c3 but we are a non-profit with 100% of EVERY dollar donate going to the mission team. I personally cover the overhead from my own pocket so all donations go to the need at hand.

If you can help us we really appreciate it even if only $5. I track and report all donations if you want to receive this in the future.

The school really needs your help right now, today, to keep providing basic needs to our community of homeless families here in Lahore. Just the cost of a daily Starbucks is all it takes. I personally absorb the funding overhead so 100% of EVERY DONATION goes to these kids. Let us know today if you can help.

Help - We Need Your Help!
The homeless kids need your support. Shazia and Asher invest countless hours working with these children to provide schooling and positive examples of clean living. BUT we need Financial Support.

We are not a 501c3 or a formal charity. We are just a average people doing above average work to make a difference for anexceptional group of homeless kids.

$1 a day from 100 people would more than fund this school. $1 dollar per day from a few people would allow us to work with more kids, provide snacks and more books. We have to pay tent and electric too. This month we took a young 4 year old orphan to the doctor to get a head wound treated. She has no one else to care for her.

100% of every donation goes directly to the budget for the homeless kids attending this school. When you send a donation, I will personally respond with a letter. We send financial reports upon request.

We are very small but VERY IMPORTANT to the children we serve. Please share this site with all your friend on FB and pass the word to let them know - WE NEED your help raising funds. A small amount goes a very long way. bf

Introducing some of the children attending the All God's Children School in Lahore Pakistan.
Today meet with Kiran Iqbal. Notes from Shazia, our teacher and prayer warrior.
Last year she was in play group but this year she is studying in Nursery now. A few months before she can read and write but now she is writing and reading alphabet without book.
We really could use your help supporting the school. Many of these children have nothing outside of this school, spending time searching for food. Some have no parents and depend on friends like you to help out this Christian group of people living in Lahore. We are not a recognized non-profit and we need your help. Whatever you can share today is welcome and appreciated. In c/o Mastermind Group, I make sure 100% of donations go to these children in this school.
