Living Hope Mission for Pakistan
Uriah Welfare Organization (UWO) is a Christian faith-based nonprofit founded by Evangelist Patras Boota. Born into brick kiln slavery, Patras broke the cycle through education and faith. He established UWO to serve the poorest of the poor especially brick kiln families and street children with practical love in action (1 John 3:18).
Our Vision: A Pakistan where no child works in brick kilns, every child attends school, and families live in freedom, dignity, and hope.
Through Jesus Christ, we liberate families from modern-day slavery, educate children, plant churches, and empower the poor in Pakistan.
