Compassion for Pakistan Limited

The general vision of our organisation is as follows:

Reduce Poverty, Promote Peace in Communities and Eliminate Persecution of all types.

Our focus is to help minority groups in Pakistan and the region to eliminate all forms of discrimination or persecution.  To do this we promote education, on the job training programmes, micro-financing and peace building as well as other services

As an act of good will and to promote integration and to reduce poverty for all Pakistan citizens we desire to provide these services to all the community based on financial circumstances of the family.  This is a demonstration of love in a practical way to build bridges in the community between faiths but we feel that because minority groups are proven to be more impoverished, that we need to focus on this section of the community in a more focused manner.

Unfortunately due to extremism and poverty many people living in Pakistan and the region have felt that they have had no other choice but, to move to another nations for their own safety and the safety of their families.  If you have a Pakistan passport your choices are limited.  Most asylum seekers have no choice but to re-locate to nations generally such as Thailand, Malaysia, Sri-Lanka and Hong Kong.  

Unfortunately these nations are not commited to the 1951 Refugee Convention.  This means although the UNHCR are stationed in these nations but that asylum seekers are not legally permitted to work and therefore cannot provide education, healthcare and many times suitable accommodation to live for their families becasue the UNHCR are limited by budgets to how much support they can give them.  Many times the local Polcie and law enforcement do not recognise the UNHCR Refugee agency and many times asylum seekers are detained and put into prison or detention centres.

We are doing out best to provide services to Pakistani people who are in this situation in asylum such as food, healthcare and education.  We are also working with the UNHCR Refugee agency and we are reaching out to the Malaysia government and others with alternative solutions to help these unfortunate groups of people.

On a local level in Northern Ireland, U.K. and Europe we are desiring to soon have projects up and running focusing on poverty elimination and to reduce drug addiction as well as peace building.  We also engage with the global political establishment regarding these issues such as European states, European Parliament/Commision and the United Nations Geneva.
