Back to What We Do...   How you can give                           The Starfish Asia Fund 32 Beck Lane Beckenham Kent BR3 4RE UK Telephone +44 (0)20 8402 1914 Email mike@starfishasia.com	The Price of Hope On behalf of the Starfish Asia fund we have made a firm commitment to our main partners in Pakistan to support them in their work with the poor. In some cases this covers the full cost of their project and in others it is an agreed amount to enable them to achieve their work in the community. In our agreement we state that the Starfish Asia fund 'cannot guarantee' to send the money, but that 'we will do all in our power' to keep to the terms of our agreement.   The reality is that we can only pass on what we have received. A lot of needy people are depending on our Partners to help them. Our Partners are depending on us to provide their funds. And we are dependent on the generous, regular giving of concerned people to keep our commitments. The following are the Starfish Asia fund partners in Pakistan to whom we have made commitments for support.   Each child we support in school needs not more than £3 / $6 a month!   We support the team of ladies that serves the poor through the Fellowship of Christ in Lahore, together with a grant for the administrative costs of the Fellowship.   We cover the full costs of running the Lahore Christian College, providing free education to 450 children from poor homes. We give grants to cover the maintenance of their building.   We give a grant to meet the needs of running the School for Special Children in Sharakpur.   Through the Fellowship of Christ, we cover the expenses and school fees for 60 children in Youhannabad, Lahore, to attend Christian schools.   We provide an agreed monthly subsidy to the CGA Home for Special Children in Lahore to help towards the costs of running the home and for the care of these Special children. We help with their housing needs.   We meet most of the monthly running expenses of the Ananias Home for Blind Girls in Youhannabad, Lahore.   We provide about 75% of the budget each month to give free education to the 230 children at the Miracle School, Lahore.   We provide funds to cover the teachers' salaries every month at the Holy Shepherd School , Karachi, as well as giving grants from time to time for maintenance of the school buildings.   We give a small monthly subsidy to pay the rent for the school building at the CAP Junior School in Youhannabad, Lahore.   We provide scholarships for 100 poor village children attending the Samuel Memorial High School near Sahiwal, central Punjab. We also give a monthly grant for the costs of the clinic.   We provide a grant each month to the Christian School at Rak Dera Chahal to cover their budget shortfall. We have undertaken to increase this to enable them to add further classes in order to become an accredited High School.   We have provided intial set-up costs, as well as a full grant for running the Sadaye-Aman Junior School in Sargodha.       We can't help them all - but we have got to help  some!
