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.
