Rakha is a brick kiln worker who is suffering from severe gangrene, which is caused by a loss of blood flow to certain parts of the body caused by diabetes complications.

The gangrene on his fingers and legs caused him to be unable to work at the brick kiln, and the kiln owners no longer allowed him to borrow any more money to buy food. 

After an assessment by our medical team, we determined that the unsanitary conditions of the brick kiln would prohibit his wounds from properly healing.

Rakha was left in pain, hungry, and at risk of losing his life. The cost of admission to the hospital to treat the gangrene was only $200, but it was impossible for Rakha. 

However, thanks to your generosity and the help of our staff, Rakha has been admitted to the hospital and is now receiving the care he desperately needed. We are regularly checking in with him as the healing progresses. 

His story is a sobering reminder of how dangerous life can be for Pakistan’s rural laborers—and how urgent the need is for accessible, on-site medical care. Most brick kiln workers, including children, have no access to medical support, and Rakha’s case was only worsened by a lack of early intervention. 

So, we’re raising funds to deploy mobile medical clinics that bring basic care, hydration, and emergency treatment directly to the kilns.

One clinic costs $680 and enables us to serve dozens of people in just one day, including by catching the early onset of symptoms such as Rahka’s.

Would you consider giving today to help fund a clinic?

Your gift could be the difference between life and death for someone working in these brutal conditions.

Thank you for being part of this mission to protect and uplift the most vulnerable as we strive to end cycles of poverty in Pakistan.
