HOPE for Suffering Humanity are seeking to promote better Human Rights, Education and equal employment opportunities in the Punjab region of Pakistan. Following the recent events in this region there is a great need for funding to enable local minority groups to be able to set up home based businesses and receive better training and education to prepare them for employment opportunities available. We have already managed to make a start in providing equipment for women to work from home but much more needs to be done. With further development it should be possible to bring more economic stability to the region by helping to provide essential goods and services. Please could you send me the proposal form and/or application form required.
