Once a week, the locals of the Youhanabad neighborhood in Lahore head to the Wall of Jesus to collect food, warm clothes and other items.
These include 35-year-old Mumtaz Bibi, who lives in a street near St. John's Catholic Church.
“My husband earns up to 1,000 rupees (US$6) a day for whitewashing buildings. Increasing inflation has made it difficult to eat fresh meals,” she told UCA News.
The mother of three took a dress from one of the 16 drawers of the 3-meter-tall wall with a white cross atop. The drawers are filled with items including bridal dresses, warm clothes, school uniforms, shoes, groceries, diapers and school bags.
