Sisters Shumaila and Maria are two brilliant students in our sewing class at the Sablone House. Their family takes care of animals that belong to Muslims, and in return they get food and a living place, which they share with the animals.
Their own mud house was destroyed in previous monsoon flooding. Their dad was previously employed in a factory, but during the pandemic he lost his job and was unable to find a new one. Shumaila and Maria are learning sewing so that they can support the family.
The sisters relayed their story to World Compassion Fund (WCF) during a recent visit to Pakistan. Thanks to WCF, the family was able to rebuild their own home. They are very thankful to WCF and RAM for helping them during a difficult time.
