In the aftermath of the floods, many families in Sialkot district were left not only homeless but also vulnerable to sickness and disease. With stagnant water and limited access to healthcare, even small illnesses became heavy burdens. Parents worried about fevers, coughs, and infections, yet had nowhere to turn. This week, Chopan Trust set up a free medical camp to bring hope and healing where it was needed most. More than 150 individuals came seeking help. From children suffering from flu to elderly patients struggling with weakness, each one was carefully attended by a doctor who listened, comforted, and treated with compassion. Medicines were provided free of cost, ensuring that families who had lost everything did not have to worry about the price of basic care. For many, it was the first time in weeks that they felt relief—not just from pain but also from the fear of being left behind. This camp was more than just a medical service. It was a reminder that even in times of loss, communities can come together to restore dignity and health. With the support of our partners and friends. Chopan Trust continues to walk alongside families on their road to recovery. #FloodRelief #MedicalCamp #ChopanTrust #HopeInAction

When the floods swept away homes and livelihoods, many families were left with nothing but uncertainty. Mothers worried about their children going hungry, fathers searched desperately for work, and children longed for a sense of normal life again. This week, Chopan Trust reached out with a small but meaningful gesture of hope. One hundred more flood-affected families received their packages of essential food and supplies. For some, it meant a warm meal after days of struggle. For others, it was the comfort of knowing they are not forgotten. Each package is more than just rice, flour, or oil. It is a message of care, reminding families that they are not alone in this journey. With the support of friends and donors, we are slowly helping communities rebuild their lives with dignity and resilience. The road ahead is still long, but every act of kindness moves us closer to healing. Together, we can reach even more families and turn despair into hope. #FloodRelief #ChopanTrust #HopeInAction

“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” – Matthew 25:40. This powerful verse is the very heartbeat of our mission at Chopan Trust. When the call came from a friend in Swat, reporting on the devastation faced by our Christian brethren due to recent floods, we knew our path was clear. This was not just a humanitarian mission; it was a divine calling to serve. After an arduous 8-hour journey from Lahore, our team arrived in Swat, ready to be the hands and feet of Christ. The images you see are more than just photographs; they are a testament to God’s grace and the power of community. The recent heavy rains and flash floods in Swat have left countless families displaced and in desperate need of aid. Homes have been destroyed, livelihoods have been washed away, and many were left with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Our focus was on providing immediate, tangible relief to the Christian families who had lost everything. Our response was two-fold: a free medical camp and the distribution of essential supplies. Healing Hands, Hopeful Hearts: The Free Medical Camp We set up a free medical camp where our dedicated doctor attended to over 100 individuals. Many were suffering from water-borne diseases, skin infections, and injuries sustained during the floods. The long queues of people waiting patiently for a check-up were a poignant reminder of the urgent need for basic healthcare. Our team provided consultations and essential medications, offering not just physical healing but also a sense of care and dignity in a time of great distress. We witnessed a little girl being checked by the doctor, her face a mix of apprehension and hope. We prayed that our presence would be a source of comfort for her and her family. A Package of Essentials: Restoring Hope Beyond medical aid, we distributed “Packages of Essentials” to over 30 families. These packages were carefully curated to provide immediate relief, containing vital items like food, clean water, blankets, and hygiene kits. We saw the look of profound gratitude on the faces of those who received these packages, especially the elderly and the women. One elderly lady, receiving her medication and a blanket, offered a smile that spoke volumes. It was a moment that reminded us that the simplest acts of kindness can restore a person’s faith in humanity. The Call to Action: This mission was a success, but the work is far from over. There are still countless families who need our help. Your support, prayers, and generosity enable us to continue this vital work. Whether it’s a small donation, a share of this post, or a prayer for the people of Swat, you are a part of this mission. Help us continue to be a light in the darkness.

In August and September, heavy monsoon rains flooded several villages in Kasur, leaving hundreds of families struggling for safety, shelter, and daily essentials. Chopan Trust has been actively standing with flood-affected Christian families in Bhikiwind, Kamalpur, Sahjra, and Chanda Singh villages, providing urgent relief and medical support. Reaching Flood Victims in Remote Villages Our team stayed in close contact with more than 100 families in these hard-hit communities. To understand their needs firsthand, we visited the flood rescue camp and even braved a boat journey to Kamalpur. The trip was dangerous, and on our way back, our team was caught in heavy rain—but the commitment to reach people in need kept us moving. Free Medical Camp in Kamalpur Health needs were a serious concern in the flooded villages. With the support of Col. Dr. Amir and his medical team from the Royal Institute of Health Sciences, Chopan Trust organized a Free Medical Camp in Kamalpur. More than 150 men, women, and children received medical check-ups and essential medicines. This initiative ensured that families vulnerable to infections and waterborne diseases could access immediate care.

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

From July 23 to 25, we held a 3-day teachers’ training to prepare for the upcoming academic session starting in August, following the summer break. A total of 25 teachers from 5 different community-based schools joined us, attending daily sessions from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The training was interactive and engaging, filled with ice-breakers, group discussions, and learning through play-based activities—not just lectures, but real conversations around real challenges. Key Topics Covered:  Click here to view training photos We are praying for a dedicated training hall—a space where our teachers can continue to grow and serve with excellence. We envision it fully equipped with: Please join us in prayer as we take steps toward this vision.

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
