Want to join me in making a difference? I’m raising money to benefit BREADTRUST, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to the children and Jamestown community that will benefit!

The Jamestown enclave of Rawalpindi, in Northern Pakistan, has an estimated 3,000 residents. Having successfully secured land rights and essential utilities, the community is now entering the most critical juncture of its mission: breaking the cycle of generational poverty through a high-impact educational intervention.

This is part of a 20-year transformation plan for Jamestown - From 'Untouchable' to 'University', part of a joint strategic partnership for social mobility between BREADtrust and the PFK Group of Churches. This partnership combines decades of international development expertise with deep-rooted local ownership.

Through the combined expertise of BREADtrust’s strategic oversight and PFK’s local presence, we aim to prepare 500 young people for tertiary higher education within the next 20 years. We estimate this shift will triple average family incomes, fundamentally transforming the community's economic trajectory.

In January 2026, I was privileged to visit the Jamestown community, with members of the BREADtrust board and PFK leaders. I met with many of the people and their leaders, and see the site where the school will be built, developing upon foundations of a building already in place, to extend upwards and into connected land. I have seen firsthand how much this project will mean to the community and how drastically high quality education will impact the life outcomes for the children growing up in this community.
