WHERE
WE WORK
Jubilee
Campaign is actively involved in informing
government officials of the plight of
persecuted Christians and children at
risk, lobbying on Capitol Hill and at
the UN, and assisting those who are victims
of persecution in countries around the
world.
In
Lahore, Pakistan, Jubilee Campaign supports
a partner organization that exists to
protect and defend Pakistan's suffering
Christian minority. The Center for Legal
Aid, Assistance, and Settlement (CLAAS)
is a courageous group of Christian and
Muslim attorneys who enter the highest
courts of Pakistan to plead for justice
for persecuted Christians. They have won
a number of high-profile cases, and have
consistently confronted threats from Muslim
extremists because of their work.
Working
closely with CLAAS, Jubilee Campaign is
actively involved in freeing bonded laborers
from Pakistan's brick kilns. To date we
have freed over 700 modern-day slaves
from the brick kilns in and around Lahore,
Pakistan.
In
Mumbai, India, Jubilee Campaign partners
with K.K. Deveraj, the founder of Bombay
Teen Challenge. We help fund his work
of freeing children entrapped in Mumbai's
thriving sex trade. Once freed, many of
these children come to live in the "Jubilee
Homes", a beautiful grouping of safe,
comfortable homes located two hours outside
of Mumbai.
