As the time passed, my family was grappled in the hands of misery and helplessness. Our relatives left us and everyone turned their back – who helps you in the time of need? One-time meal became a luxury for us. Then one day, a woman from our neighborhood approached me and guided about Akhuwat and its interest-free loans. I felt that Allah

finally blessed me with a way out of misery. I reached Akhuwat’s office and what I found was true to my expectations. The team listened to my story closely, they empathized with me and approved my application of interest-free loan for PKR. 15000.
