Ananias home for blind girls in Lahore |
Mrs. Khalida Nelson is the Director of the Ananias Home for Blind Girls in Lahore, where girls up to the age of 18 live in Christian community. Khalida treats the girls as her own daughters, providing a unique atmosphere of hope and dignity.
The Ananias Home for Blind Girls is a project of Caritas Pakistan, and administration of the Home, including staffing and programme, is undertaken by Caritas and their excellent team. However, the Home was dependent for its survival on local funding, and due to shortage of specific income, Caritas had determined to close the Home, until Starfish Asia agreed to provide a running subsidy. Such oases of hope should not be allowed to close down!

The girls study for secular exams as well as learning to read and write Braille, use knitting machines to make garments for sale and gain skills needed to live a fulfilled and useful life. The home currently accommodates 25 girls and is constantly being upgraded and developed. Starfish Asia is committed to provide not only funds but, as needed, equipment for the training of the girls for life.
