Why This Matters
Christian communities across Punjab, including here in the south, are among Pakistan's poorest and most excluded. A 2021 study of Christian-run schools in the province found 79% were slum-based, charging under 2,000 rupees a month, many with broken windows, no benches, or working toilets.

We're already there. The Universal Truth Education Center is rooted in Layyah, South Punjab, run by people this community already knows and trusts.
By combining quality education with Christ-centered discipleship, we give Christian children in Layyah, our first step toward serving all of South Punjab, a real chance to break the cycle of poverty and exclusion.
Right now, that means running the Universal Truth Education Center in Layyah, South Punjab, with daily classes in core subjects alongside Bible-based discipleship, taught by local teachers who know these families personally. It's one center and one classroom today, with plans to grow into vocational training and wider community development across South Punjab as the ministry grows.
For ten years we opened our doors to the children of our community. Since January 2024, that calling has become a ministry, still young, but growing stronger by the day.
