The work which is done by Christians in the region of Lahore is mostly poorly paid. They earn their living as day labourers, street or sanitary cleaners, or are employed as domestic workers by rich Muslim families. One hundred rupees, far less than two dollars, is the average daily wage. Usually, both parents work, but the income is often not enough to cover daily expenses. While the parents work, the older children look after the younger siblings. Only a very few can go to school. Most Christians, as well as a large part of the rest of the population, are poor, they have little or no access to education and receive little support. The Pakistani education system reflects the continuing social inequality in society. Without good education and training, there will be no change or improvement in the lives of the people and especially that of girls and women, so it is important for the sisters to start here.

Because young people and children are often completely neglected and nobody takes care of their well-being, the Sisters want to welcome the children and offer them a home, a place of belonging. The building that the Archdiocese has made available is used to provide these young people with a solid basic education and to give them a place of warmth and community. Here they can learn, free from fear and worry, and gaining new skills and abilities helping to support their families.

In the Centre for Home Economics and Sewing, about 60 girls are made aware of their talents and their practical skills.  Through training, they are enabled to take their future into their own hands. These training courses last an average of 24 months and allow them to choose a self-determined path after graduation.
