A woman born into a Christian family in Pakistan who served the communities, both Christians and Muslims, here in Newport and in her birth town Jaranwala, Pakistan.
As a midwife in Jaranwala she bought many babies into the world, in Newport she became a 'wise woman' always ready to give help and advice to young mothers.
As a newcomer to Newport, more than 40 years ago, she worked to fulfil the potential of both her own family and other new families.
A woman faithful to her roots, she raised funds and sent the resources to ease the poverty of those struggling with welfare, health and education. She tried to support individuals and community projects.
In memory of Alice, this constituted group was set up in September 2014 in answer to a challenge that she would have found dear to her heart.
In a small village called KAMOANNA, Chak 238, nears Jaranwala, Pakistan, there is a desperate need for a building to serve as a place of education for under privileged children of all faiths and backgrounds. It would also be a place to worship for the Christian families of the village, who at present do not have a place to worship.
The Alice Foundation is a charity that is registered with the Charity Commission and aims to provide not only a building but also an education, a hope and a future for this community.
