Pregnancy Help Network - Pakistan
Pro-Life Pakistan
Pro-Life Pakistan works to educate women, families, and communities about the value of human life. In Pakistan, many abortions happen because of fear, pressure, misinformation, and trauma. Our mission is to reach hearts
and minds through education, compassionate counseling, and the message of hope found in the Gospel.
We organize awareness and education campaigns in communities, churches, and small groups to help people understand the dignity of life from conception. We speak openly about abortion, its impact on women and families, and how better, life-affirming decisions are possible. Alongside education, we offer one-to-one counseling for women who are at risk of abortion. We listen to their stories, walk with them in their fear, and help them find hope and practical next steps.
We also support women who are living with deep emotional pain from a past abortion. Many suffer in silence for years. Through compassionate listening, counseling, prayer, and Gospel-centered support, we help women begin healing from trauma, guilt, and shame. For many, this is the first time they have been heard and shown grace.
The work is challenging. Abortion is hidden, resources are limited, and social pressure is strong. Speaking for life can bring opposition and risk. Yet the need is great, and the pro-life voice in Pakistan is small. With your support, we can continue educating society, counseling women in crisis, and sharing the Gospel that brings true healing and hope.
All financial gifts received designated for our approved “alliance” affiliates will be forwarded to them in a reasonable timeframe (usually upon exceeding $250US). Heartbeat International deducts $30 plus 3% from the transfer, to help defray internal cost for money transfers, currency conversion, clerical costs, bank fees and any processing fees that might be charged. Should any funds be unable to be forwarded – primarily related to the recipient - they may be re-allocated for similar international work.

Empower Life Grant
The Empower Life Grant is an invitation-only, operational grant intended to empower both organizations and their clients to transform their communities for life in the United States. Good candidates for the Empower Life Grant are Heartbeat International Affiliates in full agreement with the Commitment of Care and Competence (particularly the birth control statement), are committed to sharing the Gospel with clients, and serve primarily clients at-risk for abortion.
The commitment to sharing Christ with clients is very close to the heart of the anonymous donor and plays a role in which organizations receive grants. Applicants receive training on representing their organization well to grantors as well as a complete checklist of what they need for the application. Over $5 million in grant funds have been distributed to more than 500 pregnancy help organizations so far.
The map below shows when organizations should expect to receive an invitation to apply. Cycles are named for when grant monies are distributed. The Spring application window typically opens in January and the Fall application window typically opens in August.

Babies Go to Congress
Heartbeat International’s Babies Go to Congress campaign may be one of the most powerful Pro-Life events on Capitol Hill. Just imagine your lawmakers meeting with women who chose life at your center! Working with you and your clients, we can communicate with various congressional offices from both sides of the aisle. After all, who can turn away smiling mothers, with happy babies in hand, who share their stories of the love and support they found at their local pregnancy help center?
One by one these moms will share their stories of how your organization helped them through a difficult time in their life. Some with a pregnancy test, some with housing, some with ultrasound, and some with mentorship programs... each story is different but highlights the fact that once each woman walked through your door, you continued to build a relationship and invest in them.
Pregnancy help centers are great for America. We know this. Women know this. Your centers and organizations provided resources and support when no one else did.
Babies Go to Congress in the news:
Additional articles can be found in Townhall, Daily Signal, CBN, CNS News, and on our own Pregnancy Help News.
Because of organizations like yours, we are able to continue bringing mothers and babies to Washington, D.C., to deliver the good news of pregnancy help! Will you join us?
Thanks to centers like yours, more than 180 moms and babies have gone to D.C. and told their stories in nearly 400 Congressional offices since our first trip in 2009! Every one of these moms and their babies are living proof that pregnancy centers are great for America.
Life Reach Global India
Life Reach Global - India
For over ten years we have been promoting and defending the value of all human life from conception until natural death in South Asia.
Through our awareness seminars we have reached out to over one hundred and thirty thousand people who are either directly involved with pregnancy termination or who themselves form part of the endangered target group.
We have a special home, where the expecting mother can finish her pregnancy without threat and be counseled how she can either return to family life with her newly-born child or parent her child through adoption. Some of these women choose to stay on and be trained by us in life skills.
In a second home we provide for the elderly, enabling them to spend their final months, weeks and days with dignity in a loving and caring environment.
Alongside our life center for expecting mothers and our center for the elderly we have now received approval to open an infant home, paving the way for the center to also become an adoption agency.
We have developed a large network of life-care-focused organizations in South Asia. We confer regularly and facilitate annual summits to share experiences, explore avenues to reach even more people in need, and strengthen our mutual resolve to serve.
With our legal partners, Alliance Defending Freedom, we have contested attempts to curtail the rights of the unborn at the highest legal levels.
We have launched our nation’s first pro-life pregnancy helpline to provide immediate counsel and practical help to women or couples contemplating an abortion.
India has a distorted male/female birth rate with 7000 girls being aborted on sex-selective grounds daily. The nation we serve has one of the highest abortion rates per women of reproductive age in the world while the movement to speak up and protect these precious ones and their mothers is young and small. We thank you for every contribution that you provide for the least of these.
All financial gifts received designated for our approved “alliance” affiliates will be forwarded to them in a reasonable timeframe (usually upon exceeding $250US).

Read the Heartbeat International Amicus Brief
We’re living in a powerful moment in history—a time when women in crisis have more opportunities and support than ever before. That's why Heartbeat International has joined the biggest challenge to Roe v. Wade.
Heartbeat filed an amicus brief in the United States Supreme Court case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health.
This is a direct challenge to the antiquated arguments of Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey: that women need an abortion to participate in society.
You and I know that’s never been true. Now Heartbeat International is seizing this moment to make the argument that women today are already empowered, strong, and abortion does absolutely NOTHING for them.
