Akram Gulzar – End 25 Years of Bondage in Brick Kiln

This project seeks to free the Akram Gulzar family—a household of six individuals—from the brutal grip of 25 years of bonded labor in a brick kiln in Pakistan. Trapped for over two decades in a cycle of debt, exploitation, and hopelessness, they have been forced to work in inhumane conditions with no realistic path to freedom.

This initiative aims to raise a total of 3,800€ to cover their debt repayment (2,300€), provide business startup support (1,050€), fund a security deposit for housing (250€), and deliver urgent medical care (200€). The goal is not only to set them free—but to restore their dignity, independence, and health.

For 25 long years, the Gulzar family has been enslaved in a brick kiln, forced to mold thousands of bricks by hand under harsh working conditions. Despite their relentless labor, they earned only around 6€ per day, a sum insufficient to meet even basic human needs.

Due to exploitative repayment schemes and constantly increasing interest, their original debt has remained unpaid—and even grown. They live in overcrowded, unhealthy conditions, with no access to proper healthcare or education for their children.

Without outside intervention, the family is doomed to a life of continued bondage, hardship, and generational poverty.
