In Pakistan, many women have been abandoned by their husbands and are left to raise their children alone, often with limited education and few job opportunities. As a result, many resort to working as housemaids to make ends meet.
To address this issue, Women’s Ministries department of Pakistan Union Section has launched a project to empower these women by providing them with sewing machines, enabling them to become financially independent.

Initially, the project focused on members of the Adventist Church. However, it has since expanded to support women from the Sindhi region in southern Pakistan, an area severely impacted by last year’s devastating floods. These women are now learning valuable sewing skills, creating and selling clothing to earn a livelihood. The project will support nine groups in phases, offering these women a sustainable path to self-reliance and dignity. This initiative is giving them the tools they need to succeed and transforming lives in communities where opportunities are scarce, bringing hope for a brighter future.

“We are following the ministry of Jesus. He saw the invisible women, recognized their needs, and restored their value, voice, and dignity,” says Kim YoungMoon, Women’s Ministries director of the Pakistan Union Section. “We are deeply grateful to the donors who, through their compassion and love, are bringing hope to these women, just as Jesus did.”
