Traveling over three hours from Lahore, the Chopan Trust team delivered critical medical aid and financial support to 300 flood victims in Sultanpura, Narowal, with a special focus on the resilient Christian community. Read about our mission of love and solidarity. The aftermath of Pakistan’s devastating floods has been particularly harsh on the country’s most vulnerable communities. In the low-lying rural areas surrounding Narowal, countless families have seen their lives and livelihoods washed away. Research highlights how marginalized communities, especially the impoverished Christian populace living in small villages, are disproportionately affected. With their already fragile homes and crops destroyed, the road to recovery is long and filled with immense challenges. In a powerful response to this profound need, the Chopan Trust team embarked on a challenging journey of over three hours from Lahore to Sultanpura, Narowal. Our mission was to provide tangible relief and a message of hope to those who felt forgotten. Our efforts were made possible through a heartfelt collaboration with local Presbyterian pastors, who helped us reach the most deserving families. The chosen venue, a Presbyterian church in Sultanpura, became a hub of healing and compassion. We were humbled by the sight of more than 200 individuals—men, women, and children—who had traveled from surrounding villages, seeking help. Our dedicated doctors worked tirelessly, examining each patient, offering crucial medical advice, and providing free, life-saving medicines. It was an honor to see our efforts translate into direct relief for those suffering from post-flood illnesses and injuries. But we knew that health was just one piece of the puzzle. The destruction of homes and loss of income has created a desperate need for financial support. In an act of solidarity and as a “token of love,” we distributed cash in envelopes to 100 of the most devastated families. This was not just a donation; it was a way to restore their dignity, giving them the means to buy essential food and supplies to begin rebuilding their lives. This mission was more than a three-hour drive; it was a testament to our unwavering commitment to serve humanity, transcending geographical and communal boundaries. We are grateful to our supporters who make these life-changing missions possible. Together, we can continue to be a source of strength and comfort for those who need it most.  #ChopanTrust #FloodRelief #Narowal #MedicalCamp #HumanitarianAid #ChristianCommunity #PakistanFloods #Charity #HelpingHands #TheWaymaker #HopeForPakistan

At Chopan Trust, we believe in the transformative power of education. Every child, regardless of their background, deserves the opportunity to learn and grow. It is with immense gratitude and humble hearts that we share the news of our recent school textbook distribution drive in Lahore, Pakistan, bringing essential learning materials to hundreds of deprived and needy Christian children. This initiative saw over 500 young learners from Pre-classes, PG, Nursery, and Prep Classes receive vital textbooks. These eager students attend various community schools dedicated to providing education to underserved populations, including: EROS School Mercy School The Knowledge Zone School Grace Community School The smiles on the faces of these children as they received their new books were a testament to the profound impact even the simplest resources can have. These textbooks are not just pages and ink; they are gateways to knowledge, tools for a brighter future, and a beacon of hope for families striving for a better life. While we are overjoyed by the success of this distribution, we also want to share a reflection on our larger vision. Our prayer and goal were to provide not only textbooks but also notebooks and school bags to 3000 children this year. Although we couldn’t reach that ambitious target, we hold steadfast to our faith. We believe, unequivocally, that “God has better plans for us” (Jeremiah 29:11, reflecting the biblical sentiment). Every step forward, every child we are able to reach, is a blessing and part of His divine purpose. We trust in His timing and His provision, knowing that even in what might seem like unfulfilled goals, His grace abounds. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our donors, partners, and volunteers who made this distribution possible. Your support directly impacts the lives of these precious children and helps illuminate their educational journey. Join us in our mission! Your continued prayers and contributions are invaluable as we strive to reach more children and empower them through education. Together, we can make a lasting difference. #ChopanTrust #EducationForAll #ChristianEducation #LahoreCharity #SchoolBooks #SupportEducation #PakistaniChristians #DeprivedChildren #FaithInAction #CommunitySupport

We are delighted to report the outstanding success of our recent National Career Festival! The event exceeded expectations, engaging 650 enthusiastic students and teachers. Despite over 200 students from Catholic institutions being unable to attend due to the Pope’s funeral, the impact on the 650 participating high school graduates was significant. The festival offered a vital platform for these young individuals to explore their future ambitions. Over 20 dedicated panelists from diverse professions shared their career journeys, providing valuable insights and answers to students’ questions about their dream careers. Each student received a “Career Counseling” booklet and “The Amazing Story of Pakistan’s Christians.” We believe this event has inspired the future leaders.  Thankful to Starfish sending 200+ students. Thank you for your crucial support, enabling us to invest directly in the potential of Pakistan’s youth through initiatives like this.

We believe that education is a fundamental right, regardless of age. Recently, we captured a remarkable moment at our EROS School, where a 50-year-old woman, a participant in our literacy program, read from the Bible for the first time.

It underscores the importance of providing access to education, especially for those who have been deprived of it for years. Through our literacy programs, we’re not just teaching reading and writing; we’re opening doors to new worlds, fostering self-confidence, and empowering individuals to take control of their lives.
