“I am Bhain bibi and I have a family of 5 members. I am stitching clothes for the past 12 years. I was living a prosperous life with my family when my husband met with an accident that paralyzed him for life. This marked for my family the beginning of hardships. My son then began to work as labourer to earn for the family but his income remains inconsistent.
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. With the loan money, I bought a cart for my son that enabled him to earn regularly and a sewing machine for myself that I use to earn al livelihood for my family. I am grateful to the team of Akhuwat and I pray they acquire success by leaps and bounds. May Allah Almighty endow them with success in all their ventures.” Says Bhain Bibi.
