MARRIAGE SUPPORT
She is ready to begin her life. Poverty is making her wait.
For many young women from struggling families in Pakistan, marriage is not being delayed by choice. It is being delayed by poverty.
A proposal may come. Both families may be happy. But then comes the difficult question. How will they afford it?
Clothing, bedding, household essentials and even a simple marriage ceremony can cost more than a family already struggling to survive could ever put aside.
So they wait.
A daughter watches the years pass. A mother worries about her future. A father carries the pain of wanting to help his daughter, but simply not having the means.
For some families, this wait can continue for years.
This is not about paying for a lavish wedding. It is about helping a family overcome a financial barrier and giving a couple the chance to start their life together with dignity.
Poverty should not decide when someone gets the chance to begin married life. £1,100 can help a deserving couple make that beginning possible.
A lack of money should not stand in the way of a dignified new beginning.
