Shahida

Shahida is a 56-year-old married woman. Surrounded by poor financial circumstances, she needed to start her own business to increase her purchasing power for meeting her household expenditures. She is a hardworking mother who is helping her family by providing tailoring services in her community. She has been doing this for many years and knows the techniques of stitching very well. Her regular customers are her neighbors and the local community. Shahida earns enough to lead a decent life.

To help her continue her business operations, she requested a loan of 90,000 PKR to buy stitching materials, such as spools of threads in different colors and packs of zippers and buttons, etc., to sew more dresses on time. In addition to repaying the loan, she will use part of the anticipated revenues to deal with personal expenses.
