Increasing Opportunities For The Deserving In Pakistan
Did you know that Zaiqa Brand imports from Pakistan? That’s why we wanted to give back. Teaming up with Akhuwat was a natural choice as they have innovative programs for the needy and deserving.
Together, we will:
- Offer scholarships to less than fortunate students to further their education.
- Offer clothing and food to poor families
- Contribute to the Interest Free Micro Finance program to help empower underprivileged entrepreneurs in creating a sustainable revenue stream
What is Akhuwat?
Akhuwat has been working for poverty alleviation by empowering socially and economically marginalized segments of the society through Interest Free Micro Finance. Akhuwat’s total disbursement has now reached to PKR 100 Billion by serving more than 4 Million underprivileged families. From a modest philanthropic experiment, the continued support from the civil society has allowed Akhuwat to expand into a network of more than 830 branches in over 350 cities and towns across the country with a loan recovery rate of above 99.96%.
To fulfill our dream of a poverty-free society, education is the next step. With an utmost faith in humanity, we believe “if we can offer micro-finance without charging any interest, we can also provide education free of cost”. Phase one of Akhuwat University was launched on 14th of August 2018.
