Aaron Hutchings was shocked by Pakistani brick factories. Kids worked under sun to pay generational debts. Within hours, he freed 2 families. Up to 1 million Christians in bonded labor. 2023 census: 3.3 million Christians, 1.37% of pop.
Emmanuel Hernandez started Project Jubilee in 2025. Donations saved 300. 98% rescued are Christians, as they’re second-class. Cost $8,500 per family. Helps with legal, rent, school, tuk tuks for income.
Pakistan outlawed bonded slavery in 1992, but enforcement weak. Discrimination against Christians. Hutchings says God’s hand guided them. Freedom changes families, especially kids’ futures.
