Programs

No one is free until all people are free.

Freedom takes more than one moment. We support families through education, trade skills, legal aid, restoration homes, and long-term care.

Education

Giving children hope for a better future

Many children in brick-making communities work because their families are trapped by debt. Without education, their options outside the kilns are limited. All People Free helps open schools that give children access to reading, writing, teachers, books, and a path forward.

What this includes

K through 5th grade education
Reading and writing
School supplies
Local teachers
A path out of child labor

Story

Arjun's Story

Arjun was born into a brick-making community and worked with his family from a young age. He wanted to go to school, but his family had no way out. When a school opened nearby, he received books, supplies, and a teacher. His parents were happy because education gave him a way to dream beyond the kilns.

Trade Schools

Empowering women to support a life of their own

Women in brick-making communities often have few ways to earn income outside the kilns. Trade schools help women learn practical skills that can support their families and create a path toward independence.

Trade skills

Sewing
On-the-job training

Story

Komal and Sadaf's Story

Komal and Sadaf are sisters from a family trapped by debt. All People Free helped support the legal process of paying off the debt and helped provide sewing machines and space for a sewing school. Their school helps students learn a skill they can use to build a future.

Legal Aid

Ending abusive systems by providing legal aid

Families trapped in brick-making slavery can face threats, violence, trafficking, abuse, and other urgent needs. Legal aid helps protect people in crisis while working toward long-term freedom.

High areas of need

Human trafficking
Violence
Religious persecution
Child marriage
Sexual abuse

Story

Mehak's Story

Mehak was a young teen from a family trapped in brick-making work when she was taken from her family. Her mother refused to give up and asked for help. With legal support and pressure on authorities, Mehak was recovered and returned to her family.

Restoration Homes

Empowering families to live a life of freedom

Freedom does not end when someone leaves the kilns. Families need shelter, food, clothing, education, skills training, medical care, and ongoing support. Restoration homes provide a safe place for families to begin again.

Story

Salomi's Story

Salomi and her family were forced into brick-making work after illness and poverty left them without options. They later received a safe place to live, food, clothing, and the chance to begin again. Salomi started studying and learning to sew. Her story shows how care after liberation helps freedom last.

Until the great mass of people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other’s welfare, social justice can never be attained.

— Helen Keller
