Abdul Fahad (who goes by Fahad) lives with his parents and four sisters in a two bedroom mud house with a thatch roof. They have no access to electricity but have potable drinking water through Create Hope. There is no latrine and the village residents fetch water from a local dam until it dries up and then travel long distances to find more.
Fahad’s father is a Muslim but Fahad and his mother have accepted Christ through Create Hope. Both of his parents are unemployed and have no reliable source of income. His mother is disabled and cannot walk or do anything for herself. His father sometimes does small scale farming to provide for the family but not on a regular basis, as he owns no land. Create Hope helps provide food for Fahad and his family.
