Mission Bangkok
Report for the Month of July, 2014 :
Farrukh Saif Foundation, previously known as WVIP, is the first Pakistani organization which started helping Pakistani Christian Asylum seekers in Bangkok Thailand from May, 2014. There are more than 10,000 Pakistani Christian Asylum seekers in Thailand who fled from Pakistan for the safety of their lives.
After knowing the miserable situation of vulnerable Pakistani Christian community in Bangkok, we decided that in first phase we will help people by providing them food packages and rent to some extent and also we will help and workout for the release of those Pakistani Christians who were arrested by the immigration police .
Back ground of Exodus: A Christian exodus resulted in 2009 when Christian Colonies, villages and neighborhoods in Punjab were attacked by the “Muslim Extremists.” Hundreds of houses were torched and several people were burnt alive. Hundreds of Christians from Gojra and Korian village fled from Pakistan and took refuge in Sri-Lanka, Thailand, Hong Kong and Malaysia in order to preserve their lives and avoid future persecution. This whole episode further accelerated when in March 2013 Islamic fanatics attacked Christian Colony in Badami Bagh Lahore. According to our own survey there are thousands of Pakistani Christian Asylum seekers in East Asia and South Asia.
Our Efforts: – Farrkh Saif Foundation is helping the persecuted Christian community in Bangkok, Thailand, by supporting dozens of Victims in their monthly rents and stipend for their survival. Apart from these efforts Farrukh Saif Foundation is providing food packages to 100 of Pakistani Christian Asylum seekers.
