Redeem the Oppressed

We rescue persecuted religious minorities from slavery and provide support to break the cycle of pove
My name is Waris Masih, and this is my immediate family - my son Sarfraz Masih with his wife, my wife Shanaz Bibi, and my daughter. For over 30 years, my parents were trapped in a cycle of exploitation, forced to work in kilns to pay off a debt that was incurred through deceit and manipulation by the kiln owners. Despite working endless shifts without a single day off, even during holidays, we received pay that was barely enough to feed and sustain our family. Every time a significant event, such as a marriage or a death in the family occurred, we were forced to borrow more money from the kiln owners, trapping us in a cycle of debt and poverty.<br /><br />We were paid far less than the minimum wage, and all of our earnings were claimed by the kiln owners to pay off the loans. We felt hopeless and trapped, but that all changed when Redeem the Oppressed came into our lives. They rescued us from this situation, resettling us in a safe place far from the kilns, and providing me with a good-paying job. We are forever grateful to the team at Redeem the Oppressed for liberating us from this cycle of exploitation and oppression. May they be blessed for their selfless efforts to help those in need.<br /><br />-----<br /><br />Donate now and help us liberate more families like Waris Masih's from the cycle of debt and exploitation. Your contribution can change the lives of persecuted individuals and give them a chance at a better future. Visit https://redeemtheoppressed.org/donate/ to make a difference today.
Breaking Free: The Transformative Power of Rescuing Waris & Family from Slavery
My name is Latif, and I want to share my story with you. I used to work the fields, harvesting crops, but work got scarce. One day, a kiln owner approached me and offered to buy out my contract for the rest of the year and give me an advance. I thought this was my chance to provide for my family, so I took the offer.<br /><br />But what I didn't know was that this offer was too good to be true. The work at the kiln was endless and grueling, with no days off and long shifts. Despite all the work, the loan never seemed to decrease. We barely made enough to survive, as they claimed to take my wages to pay off the loan. Whenever we had family events such as a wedding, we had no money, so we were forced to take more loans from the kiln owner, further indebted myself to him.<br /><br />One day, I injured my leg badly while working and was hospitalized for three months. I had to take another loan and my children were forced to work too. I returned to work, still not fully recovered, limping around. No matter how much we worked, the debt just kept on increasing. They reduced the amount they paid us even more to the point that we struggled to even meet our basic food needs. We truly felt a deep despair, living a life with no money, no education for our children, and no freedom to visit our extended family.<br /><br />But one day, we noticed one of the other families that was enslaved at the kiln seemed vibrant. After further discussion, they told us about Redeem the Oppressed. They got us in contact with them and gave us instructions on how to escape slavery. We are so grateful to them, and are praying for their continued success. Thanks to them, we are free now and able to rebuild our lives. We want to share this message with you, that there are people out there that can help those who are trapped in this cycle of debt and forced labor, but they need your support. Your donation can make a real difference in the lives of those who are suffering. Please give generously and help them continue their mission to redeem the oppressed and bring hope to those in need.<br /><br />https://redeemtheoppressed.org/donate/
Rescue from Kiln Slavery: The Story of Latif and Family
My name is Arrif, and this is my son, his wife, and their children. My wife passed away.<br /><br />[Arrif's son continues the story]<br /><br />Our story starts with my mother falling ill. Her treatment was expensive, so we sold our home to try and pay for it. Despite our efforts, she passed away two years later. When the expenses of her funeral came, a kiln owner approached us with an offer of a loan. We quickly accepted it, but over time, the loan amount grew enormous. Despite working tirelessly to pay it off, we received very little actual pay. Instead, the kiln owner claimed they needed to keep all of our pay for the loans.<br /><br />We were uneducated and unable to understand the manipulation of our accounting at first, but soon after my wife's passing and funeral, we noticed the loan just kept increasing. The work was grueling, and they didn't allow us to attend all the events of our extended family. They only gave us between 1000-2000 rupees per week for our entire family. And while we dreamed of sending our children to school, the kiln owner insisted they work.<br /><br />We were part of a small group that was able to get in touch with Redeem the Oppressed staff. They set up a plan and showed us exactly what needs to be done in order to get out. They then came and rescued us from the kiln slavery, brought us to a safe house, and shortly after found us a place to live and work. We are so thankful to God and the team that rescued us from the kiln slavery and we are free now. May God guide them well and use them to save more of the oppressed.<br /><br />Help families like Arrif's escape slavery and rebuild their lives. Donate now to support our work to redeem the oppressed and provide them with safe housing and work opportunities.<br /><br />https://redeemtheoppressed.org/donate/
Redeeming the Oppressed: Arrif-Family's Story of Freedom
My name is Khaliq and this is my wife Mumtazi and our three children. We have been trapped in the cycle of bonded labor, or modern-day slavery, for as long as I can remember. As a child, I began working in the brick kiln alongside my parents, and as I grew older, my own family was drawn into the same cycle of poverty and exploitation.<br /><br />We were forced to take loans from the kiln owner to cover our basic needs, and these loans never decreased, no matter how much we worked. We were forced to work 12-13 hour shifts, with no days off, and if for any reason we couldn't work, such as when it rained, our loans would just increase. It was a never-ending cycle of labor and debt, and we despaired of ever breaking free.<br /><br />But through our family friends, we heard about Redeem the Oppressed, an organization that helps families like ours escape from slavery. They contacted us and in short order, our family was liberated from the brick kiln and the endless cycle of debt and exploitation.<br /><br />We are forever grateful to Redeem the Oppressed and the donors that make their mission possible. Without them, we would still be trapped in slavery, our children forced to work instead of going to school, our future and our dignity stolen from us. But now, we have hope for a better future.<br /><br />But there are still thousands of families like ours trapped in slavery in Pakistan, and we urge you to support Redeem the Oppressed in their mission to free them. Your donation can help free families from slavery, provide them with education, and support them as they rebuild their lives. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of these persecuted religious minorities.<br /><br />If able, you can contribute here: https://redeemtheoppressed.org/donate/
Mumtazi and Family's Testimonial: A Life of Slavery Transformed by Redeem the Oppressed
My name is Rizwana and this is my husband Bashir. We have one son and two daughters. My husband Bashir and his family were already enslaved to a brick kiln owner. After I married him, the kiln owner said I had to also work at the kiln to pay off my husband's debt. This was a debt that no matter how much my husband's family worked, constantly grew. We felt trapped and hopeless in our situation, with no end in sight. Our children were born into slavery, forced to work at a very young age without any opportunity to experience school or get an education. The physical and emotional toll of working 12 hours a day, every day, was overwhelming. But, through it all, our faith sustained us. That is, until we heard about Redeem the Oppressed. Their team contacted us and in a short amount of time, they were able to liberate us from the cycle of debt and slavery. We are forever grateful for the hope and freedom that was granted to us by the generosity of Redeem the Oppressed's donors. May God bless them abundantly so that they can continue to help other poor, needy, and enslaved brothers and sisters like they helped us.<br /><br />Please consider donating any amount to help our work:<br />https://redeemtheoppressed.org/donate/
