Change is possible!
Education is transformative – it allows children to be full participants in their communities. It changes the lives of the lives of their family and the generations that follow them.
Urgent Appeal: Flood Relief for Northern Pakistan
Our dear friend Cecil Barkat from Global Gospel Ministries, Bright Futures’ partner in Pakistan, has reached out with an urgent request.
“You may have watched the news, there has been so much devastation in Northern Pakistan and KPK Peshawar and surrounding places. Hundreds of people have died and hundreds are missing due to the flood. Can you please prayerfully consider so we could help them in food and needed things and provide medical assistance?”

The recent flooding in northern Pakistan has been devastating. Since late June, heavy monsoon rains and cloudbursts have triggered massive floods and landslides. Over seven hundred people have died, and many are still missing, with entire villages swept away. The region faces significant challenges, including damaged infrastructure, disrupted communications, and a high number of displaced people.
The floods in northern Pakistan have created a dangerous situation for waterborne illnesses. Due to the destruction of infrastructure and the contamination of water sources, diseases such as diarrhoea, gastroenteritis, dengue fever, and malaria are on the rise.
In Youngson Abad, storms have also damaged the wall and gate that provides essential security to children who board at the school.
Today, Bright Futures is launching an urgent appeal to raise $10,000 relief to flood victims that will be distributed by our trusted partner, Global Gospel Ministries. The funds will provide emergency food relief, as well as desperately needed medicines for those who have lost everything.
