Freedom from bonded labour is a fundamental human right. SFFP works with affected families to strengthen awareness of their rights and support lawful pathways out of exploitation. Through Set Them Free, we connect this work with family recovery, children’s education, and sustainable livelihoods, helping people exercise greater control over their lives and reduce vulnerability to renewed exploitation.
Economic exclusion can limit people’s ability to exercise their rights, make independent choices, and participate in public life.

This work complements our rights advocacy by strengthening economic independence and people’s ability to shape their own futures.

The Set Them Free Project focuses on helping families trapped in bonded labor and modern slavery in Pakistan. Many vulnerable men, women, and children are forced to work under oppressive systems where generations remain trapped due to unjust debts and exploitation. Through this project, we work to secure their freedom and restore their basic human dignity.
Once families are released, they receive immediate humanitarian support, including food assistance, basic medical care, and assistance with reintegration into safe and stable community life. Children are prioritized for school enrollment so they can grow up with access to education instead of facing exploitation and forced labor.
To ensure their freedom is sustainable, adults receive livelihood training and guidance to start small, income-generating activities such as food stalls, grocery shops, barbershops, plumbing, or other trades. This approach helps families rebuild their lives with dignity, independence, and renewed hope for the future. Support our work!
After families are rescued from bonded labor, the next phase focuses on rebuilding their lives through economic empowerment. This stage provides training in sustainable livelihood skills so individuals can earn a stable and dignified income. By equipping adults with practical vocational abilities and basic financial awareness, families gain the opportunity to stand on their own feet and avoid falling back into cycles of exploitation and poverty.
This initiative focuses on empowering women from vulnerable and marginalized communities by providing skills training and livelihood opportunities. Women receive training in areas such as sewing, handicrafts, small business management, and other income-generating activities. Through these opportunities, women gain confidence, financial independence, and the ability to support their families while contributing positively to their communities.
Our Mobile Medical Missions bring essential healthcare services directly to underserved and marginalized communities. During these medical camps, basic health consultations and medicines are provided while systematically collecting health data to better understand community needs. Information such as the number of men, women, and children served, their age groups, and the most common illnesses treated is carefully recorded. Initial screenings and medical samples are also collected to help identify underlying health concerns within the community.
Collected samples are sent for laboratory testing, and individuals diagnosed with chronic or serious conditions are referred to hospitals for further treatment and care. This process ensures that patients requiring specialized medical attention are connected with appropriate healthcare facilities while immediate medical needs are addressed during the camps.
The data gathered through these missions is then analyzed to identify the root causes of common health problems. For example, if waterborne diseases or stomach infections are widespread, it may indicate unsafe drinking water; if malnutrition is prevalent, it may be linked to food insecurity or poor sanitation. Based on these findings, targeted solutions are implemented such as water projects, filtration systems, or livelihood and economic empowerment programs to address the underlying causes and improve long-term community health.
Samaritan’s Fellowship Foundation Pakistan (SFFP) delivers community-based education programs focused on human rights awareness, youth empowerment, and social development. These include seminars, workshops, and training sessions designed to equip individuals with knowledge, leadership skills, and the ability to advocate for their rights.
Our education programs primarily benefit marginalized communities, including youth, women, and vulnerable groups across Pakistan. We focus on individuals who lack access to quality education, awareness, and opportunities for personal and social development.
Education empowers individuals by helping them understand their rights, make informed decisions, and actively participate in their communities. Through awareness and training, our programs enable people to challenge injustice, promote equality, and contribute to positive social change.
Yes, our education initiatives align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions).
