What we're striving for

Our projects are run independently by trusted local people who have a vision to bring about change in their communities. We focus on education in Pakistan, which we believe will strengthen communities to eventually support themselves, giving them hope and a future.

Nearly 9,000 children are now receiving an education in schools supported by Starfish Asia. Working with partner ministries in Pakistan, we currently support 46 primary, middle or secondary schools. Some are fully supported and some partially. They vary in size, the largest is a High School with a student body of nearly 800, the smallest contains just three or four Primary School classes and fewer than 50 children.

We support 6 homes for disabled, blind or orphaned children. These are situated in and around Lahore. These homes play a vital role as many disabled or orphan children can easily be taken advantage of. The homes provide not only a safe place but also help the clients to develop to their full potential through education, vocational training and a lot of love and support!

Starfish Asia provides scholarships for students wishing to pursue vocational courses, further and higher education. Such education and training helps lift these children and their families out of poverty. Poverty restricts the Christian minority in being able to counter the effects of discrimination. Through the scholarship program many young people, especially girls, are able to get a better education and hence better jobs.
