Success Stories

Aisha’s dream comes true

Aisha is a little girl who always dreamt of going to school. But she belongs to a village in Tharparkar where little girls are expected to help with household chores and especially accompany their mothers to fetch water. Instead of spending her time studying, reading books and learning about the World, she had to spend her time walking long distances to fetch water. This is no longer the case. When Hisaar Foundation with the help of its supporters installed a solar powered borewell and a water storage tank in her village, Aisha no longer has to make the trek to do so. She can go to the solar bore in her village and just open a tap. Gone are the days of carrying water on matkas over her head, gone are the days of backaches and lost dreams. Now Aisha has enough time to help her mother fetch water and also attend school.

Empowering Farhana

Farhana Mehmood, a graduate of Aman Tech, was nervous and scared when she arrived there on her first day. She had never stepped out of her house primarily due to her handicapped daughter. With her husband's support, she enrolled at Aman Tech to learn stitching. Her husband, a rickshaw driver, is unable to work on most days due to his diabetes so she has had to support her family financially. Her dedication and hard work landed her a job at Mehran Commercial Enterprises as an intern, but soon enough, she was offered a permanent position as a sewing machine operator with a starting monthly salary of Rs 15,000. She is now able to pay back her debts and is hopeful that she will be able to pay her children's school fees so that they can be successful in life. Today, she is not only earning her own livelihood and educating her children but also saving for their bright future.

Javeeda’s Triumph

One in every three children in Pakistan is malnourished. Javeeda’s fate would have been the same, if not for Marie Adelaide Leprosy Centre. Her mother shared, “ My daughter, Javeeda, our second youngest child was severely malnourished at 18 months. We couldn’t do much to improve her diet. Putting our resources towards her would mean neglecting our seven other children. Feeding her the nutritional supplements obtained free of charge at MALC was a blessing, as in 5 months I could feel her weight increasing when I carried her. When the staff told me she is in the safe zone now, I had tears of joy.

Nosheen’s Entrepreneurial Venture

After Nosheen Nadeem’s husband’s operation, he was unable to work and she soon realized that in order for her family to survive, she had to create a source of income. She thought of starting a canteen stall. However, in order to do so, she needed an initial investment. It was at this time that Nosheen got acquainted with Kashf Foundation and their interest free loan schemes. As soon as her business was established, Nosheen fell prey to her relatives’ taunts and envy but in spite of this, she remained steadfast in her cause. Gradually, as her business grew, she saw a complete change in their behaviour. Through her venture, Nosheen was able to provide a constant income for her family and educate her children. Today, Nosheen’s business has grown massively and has acted as a source of employment for other women. Currently, she has employed 8 women to work with her and gives them support to stand up for themselves and shun society’s stigmas regarding working women.
