"Those who spend their wealth in Allah's way by night and by day, secretly and publicly — they will have their reward with their Lord." — Quran 2:274

Shakila Rafique is a 36-year-old married woman who has dedicated the last five years of her life to running a grocery store. She has built her business from the ground up, learning the ins and outs of the grocery industry. Despite facing challenges, Shakila has remained committed to providing for her family and ensuring that they have a comfortable life. With her own store, she has been able to support her husband and their two children, but she dreams of expanding her business to serve her community better.

Running a grocery store has not been easy for Shakila, especially with medical expenses for a family member at home. Balancing the demands of her business and her family's needs can be challenging. However, Shakila is determined to succeed and believes that with the right support, she can take her grocery store to the next level. She has a solid stock and a loyal customer base, but she needs financial assistance to expand her offerings and reach more customers.

With the help of Seed Out, Shakila hopes to raise $280 to expand her grocery store. This loan will allow her to increase her stock and provide a wider variety of products to her customers. By supporting Shakila, donors will not only help her fulfill her dreams but will also contribute to the wellbeing of her family and the community she serves.
