Each month our Act for Peace Partners receive updates from our project partners. These updates are personal accounts from the people who are working for real and lasting peace.
Below you can find the latest Peace Mail story and past editions, which document the incredible work which has been supported by Act for Peace Partners since 2009.
Volume 7, Issue 8: Essential health care in Pakistan
 |
Kohistan, in northern Pakistan, is one of the poorest and most remote areas in the world. Until Act for Peace’s partner set up a number of health centres, there were absolutely no health facilities in this area.
Dr Zia, pictured, says, “In Kohistan, the women suffer the most. Their fathers arrange their marriages when they are children, so that as soon as they go through puberty they can be married. After they marry, their husbands will not even allow them to leave their homes.
“Without your ongoing support, we would not be able to help these people, particularly the women, who need us so much. Thank you for your kindness.”
You can read more from Dr Zia in this month's Peace Mail.
