“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”— John 8:36
Help Offered is a Christian ministry that goes into the brick kilns of Pakistan to set captive families free — paying their debt, restoring their dignity, and beginning their new life with Jesus Christ. We do not only break their chains. We walk with them into freedom.
Help Offered exists to obey the call of Christ: to proclaim liberty to the captives and to set the oppressed free. We are a Christian ministry. Every rescue we carry out is an act of worship and obedience to Jesus Christ, who came “to set at liberty those who are oppressed.”
We rescue families from bonded brick kiln slavery in Pakistan — but our mission does not end when their debt is paid. We restore their dignity, meet every physical need, and lead them into a new life with Jesus. Each family is given the Word of God, prayed over, and connected to a local church and pastor, so that the freedom of their bodies becomes the freedom of their souls.
H.O.P.E. — is not simply a humanitarian organization. We are a Christian ministry. Everything we do flows from our faith in Jesus Christ — and these are the truths we build our lives and our mission upon.
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God — our only rule for faith, life, and ministry. Every family we rescue receives the Word of God in their own language.
We believe in one God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone, who died and rose again. We preach the Gospel and make disciples in His name.
We believe the Church is called to preach the Gospel, plant churches, and disciple believers. We connect every freed family to a local church and a faithful pastor for lifelong spiritual care.
We believe God commands His people to set the oppressed free and care for the afflicted. Our rescue ministry is the living expression of the Gospel — faith in action, love made visible.
While we rescue families from bonded slavery, meet their physical needs, and restore their dignity, the primary purpose of H.O.P.E. is religious: to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to bring the lost to faith, to distribute the Holy Bible, and to plant and strengthen His Church in Pakistan. The freeing of families from slavery is the means by which we fulfill the Great Commission — obeying Christ's command to “proclaim liberty to the captives” and to make disciples of all nations.
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives… to set at liberty those who are oppressed.”
— Luke 4:18
These are not distant stories. H.O.P.E. partners and supporters from the United States travel to Pakistan and stand at the moment of rescue in person — working hand in hand with our pastors and team on the ground to set captive families free.

“Remember those in prison, as if you were together with them in prison.” — Hebrews 13:3
Many brick kiln families work long hours each day while carrying heavy debt burdens that make it difficult to provide for their basic needs. Access to nutritious food, clean drinking water, healthcare, and education often remains limited, leaving families vulnerable and in need of ongoing support.
Many kiln communities lack reliable access to clean drinking water. Through our Clean Water Initiative, H.O.P.E. installs water pumps in communities where safe water is unavailable or difficult to obtain, helping families gain access to one of life's most essential needs. Learn more about our clean water ministry.
We also provide monthly food rations to families still living and working in brick kiln communities, ensuring they have access to essential food supplies. In addition, every family rescued through our ministry receives one full year of food support as they begin rebuilding their lives. See our food and ration programme.
Small children, some as young as three, carry and stack raw bricks on ground hot enough to burn bare skin. No shoes. No shade. No rest.
He has made bricks since he could walk — faster and more precise than many adults. Not because he is gifted, but because he has never been allowed to be a child or sit in a classroom.
We have footage of an old man collapsed on the kiln field with no shelter, no water, no rest. Nearby, small children played in the mud — because they have no toys, no school, nowhere else to go.
There are zero sanitation facilities at kilns. Girls and women have no privacy and no safety. This is not a hardship they sometimes face — it is every single day of their lives.
A family works an entire week and receives almost nothing. Their wages are subtracted from a debt the owner controls. The math is designed never to add up — they are meant to stay forever.
These children have never held a pencil, never seen a playground. The mud they work in is also the mud they play in. The kiln is their entire world — until Christ, through Help Offered, calls them out of it.
Aerial drone footage and on-the-ground time-lapse video of life inside the brick kilns will be added here — showing the scale of the kilns and the daily reality these families endure before they are set free.
170+ times, by God's grace, Help Offered has broken a family free. Tap the chain below and see what Christ does for those He sets free.

“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”
— John 8:36
“We worked in that kiln for nine years. Then Help Offered came in Jesus' name — and we walked out free that same day. Now we belong to Christ.”
— Raza Masih, set free March 2022
The moment a family's debt is paid is only the beginning. Help Offered walks with each family into a brand-new life — meeting every physical need and, above all, introducing them to Jesus Christ, the One who truly sets them free.
Every family we rescue receives the Word of God — a printed Holy Bible or the audio Scriptures in their own language. We pray with them, share the Gospel, and begin their freedom not just from physical chains, but from sin and despair. Each family is then connected to a local church and a faithful pastor, so that their new life is a life walking with Jesus, surrounded by a community of believers who will love and disciple them for years to come.
“You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” — John 8:32
We pay the family's entire bonded debt and secure their legal freedom, so no owner can ever claim them again. They walk out free that same day.
We take each freed family shopping for new clothes, new shoes, and toys for the children — many of them holding new things of their own for the very first time in their lives.
We provide a new rented house and fill it with everything they need — beds and cots, bedding and bed sheets, crockery, and all the household essentials to start a dignified new life.
Each family receives the Holy Bible — printed or audio Scriptures — and we pray with them, sharing the Gospel and beginning their new life with Jesus Christ.
We provide food and ration supplies for an entire year, so that no rescued family ever goes hungry while they find their feet in freedom.
We help each family build a livelihood — a rickshaw, a fruit and vegetable shop, a small store — so their freedom is permanent and they never fall back into bondage.
Above everything, each family is joined to a local church and a faithful pastor who will walk with them long after the rescue. Their new life is not lived alone — it is lived in the family of God, growing in faith, worshipping freely, and discipled in the love of Jesus Christ. This is the true and lasting freedom we are called to give.

Freedom is not complete until it can stand on its own. That is why H.O.P.E. does not stop at paying a family's debt — we give each family a way to earn a living, so they never fall back into the bondage they were rescued from. A rickshaw, a grocery shop, a vegetable cart, a fruit stand — a future they own.
