Who is Sara Taseer

As the daughter of a Pakistani politician who was tragically assassinated because of his unwavering commitment to secular beliefs, this mission holds profound personal significance for me. I witnessed firsthand the sacrifices my father Salmaan Taseer made in his pursuit of a more inclusive and harmonious society, where people of all faiths could coexist peacefully.
His legacy fuels my passion to make a difference in the lives of marginalized children within this orphanage. My father believed in the power of education, compassion, and unity, values that are at the core of our mission. I also find myself as one of the lone voices of this marginalised and persecuted community in Pakistan.
Every donation and every act of kindness brings us closer to realizing the dream of a world where diversity is celebrated, and where every child, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to thrive.
Your support not only transforms lives but also strengthens the legacy of a man who gave everything for his beliefs.
Thank you for being a part of this deeply personal and vital mission.
In a community with limited benefactors, I stand as the beacon of hope for these vulnerable children at Lahore's Christian orphanage Shamayia. Their dreams and aspirations rest on the collective strength of our commitment, as we strive to provide them with the love, education, and opportunities they so rightfully deserve. Your support empowers me to be their advocate and guardian, ensuring that their voices are heard, their dreams are nurtured, and their futures are brighter. Together, we are their lifeline, their chance at a better tomorrow in a world where hope has been in short supply.

Our Vision

In a world often marked by adversity, the Shamayia Orphange stands as a beacon of light and resilience. We have dedicated ourselves to nurturing and protecting the most vulnerable members of Pakistani society – orphaned Christian children who have faced unimaginable hardships due to their faith. The young children in our care have often faced persecution and discrimination solely because of their Christian beliefs. They have been deprived of their parents, their homes, and their basic rights. Yet, despite these challenges, they possess an unbreakable spirit and a profound desire for a brighter future.

At Shamiya Orphange, we believe that every child deserves the chance to flourish, to receive an education, and to grow up in a safe, loving environment. We provide these children with shelter, nutritious meals, medical care, and access to education that could empower them to break free from the cycle of poverty and prejudice.
