Education is the key to breaking cyclical poverty in the brickyards of Pakistan.

GBM Hope Schools

GBM Hope Schools provide free, government-accredited education for children who would otherwise be at risk of working in brick kilns as bonded laborers.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, our newest Hope School is now open, providing elementary through high school education for 250+ students. This life-changing campus was funded entirely through donor support, making it possible for hundreds of children and their families to experience the hope and opportunity that education provides.

Hope School Project Details

There are over 20,000 brickyards in the Punjab region of Pakistan, and each brickyard is run by slaves who make bricks by hand for 12+ hours per day. The abuse suffered in these brickyards is unspeakable - especially for the most vulnerable. So, we came up with a solution: offer free education to put an end to cyclical poverty. And its working!

  • The only way to get families out of the brickyard for good and to break cycles of generational poverty is through education. When children are educated, they can use their English skills to get well-paying jobs in business or the government, help their families leave the brickyards, and leave a legacy of freedom with their future children.

  • GBM schools provide education to these children for 2-3 hours during the day, sandwiched in between their work in the brickyards, and bring in teachers to equip the children in English, Urdu, Geography, and the Bible. These are Christian schools, but they are open to children of all religious backgrounds, and they are accredited by the Pakistani government.

  • Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we have officially opened our newest school! This milestone is especially significant because, for the first time, students in this community now have the opportunity to continue their education all the way through high school. Designed to serve approximately 250 students, the campus features brand new classrooms, dedicated teachers, and a playground that brings joy to children who simply deserve the chance to learn, grow, and dream about their future. This school represents more than a new building. It represents new opportunities and a brighter future for generations of children.
