In Pakistan, Christian and other minority children often face discrimination before they even open a book.
Many are refused admission to school because of their beliefs. Others are admitted, but endure daily bullying, insults, or even physical abuse until they leave.
Without an education, most end up in child labor, cleaning streets, working in brick kilns, or serving in homes for pennies a day.
Here are the voices behind the numbers.
They told me to clean, not to learn.
I used to sweep the streets. Now I want to be a doctor.
When they laughed at my Bible, I stopped going to school.
My father said I could be anything… but no school would take me.
I love books. But at my old school, they wouldn’t give me any.
Here, no one asks me to hide my cross.
They told me to clean, not to learn.
They told me to clean, not to learn.
They told me to clean, not to learn.
Every child you see here was once turned away from school. Today they are learning, laughing, and planning for the future because someone gave them a chance.
