A loan of $360 helped to expand a stall of ladies' accessories and baby care products.
Shabana is a resilient and strong-willed woman taking over the world for her family. At the age of 50, Shabana deals with her problems and circumstances very boldly. In Pakistan, it is never easy for a woman to break stereotypes and step out of the house to work. Her husband became a mentally challenged patient a few years ago and had to stop going to work. She became the backbone of her family and did what had to be done. With the scarce savings that she had, Shabana set up a small stall in Model Bazaar, Gujranwala. She started with a few bangle sets, jewelry and accessories for girls. As her sales grew, she diversified her business and started selling babies diapers. Now that her children have gone into higher classes and her husband needs treatment frequently, her expenses are hardly being met. Shahbana is an educated and well-read person and realizes the importance of good education and hence is determined to not let her circumstances affect her children's education. Shabana has reached out to Seed Out Gujranwala for financial assistance. She has requested a loan of $360 to expand and diversify her business. She will add add a variety of items related to ladies and baby care products. Her customers demand greater variation in her product portfolio; once Shabana adds variety, the expansion of her stall will prove invaluable. Her income will increase and she will be able to manage her household expenses well, save for her children’s future, and get a better treatment for her husband.
It helps empower a female micro-entrepreneur and provide for her family.
