Empowering Women and Youth in Martinpur
Background: The village of Martinpur, Pakistan, sits a few kilometers from Youngsonabad, where we have been serving for a few years. This village is known as the sister village of Youngsonabad and is also mostly Christian, with higher poverty rates. The villagers have been watching the work done in Younsonabad, and their leadership has been asking us for over a year to start an initiative in their town to advance the women and youth. Initially, we had too many projects to create a new one, but we started planning for it in late 2025. In April, we will start the "Women and Youth Development Initiative for Martinpur".
Current: The Development Initiative for Martinpur will have two phases in it and will take place over a five-month period of time. The first phase will provide training for the village's youth, and the second phase will equip rural and poor women in the community with skills and knowledge relevant to current market needs. Below is a breakdown of the two phases:
Cost: $5,775 for 2026
Phase One:
Phase Two:
Cost: $5775 for phase one of the Development Initiative for Martinpur. This will most likely grow into either another program or an expansion of the work above.
