Thinking about change helps us
believing in ourselves, and gives us the hope to make plans bigger than our
existing circumstances. But when it comes to the womenfolk in Pakistan, all
their aspirations become more difficult to realize compared to the male members
of the society, unfortunately. In the most of the underdeveloped areas, women
have to struggle more for everything, starting from developing an identity of
their own to getting themselves established financially.
The story of Mai Muneeran, resident
of Panu Aqil, is no exception. Her Husband was the primary breadwinner for the
family and when he became unable to do so due to lack of job opportunities
available, things went from bad to worse for the whole family. Her children
were pulled out of school and even bare sanitary matters became hard to deal
with, such desperate times called only for desperate measures.
One thing distinguished Mai Muneeran
from the average women was- instead of falling apart in the face hardship- she
had a strong resolve to support her family and to give them a chance to build a
brighter future free of financial dependence. This led her to a decision of
starting her own livestock and Dairy business.
Mai Muneeran decision was a difficult
task to accomplish. On her way to success, she faced implications like social
and domestic backlash and contending with lack of resources. Putting aside all
her inhibitions, she contacted Khushhalibank, the pioneer bank in microfinance,
for financial assistance. Khushhalibank responded Mai Muneeran request with not
only the initial finances to enable her for starting dairy and breeding
livestock but also gave her the best possible financial and business advisory
to run her business smoothly.
Now with the support of
Khushhalibank, Ms. Mai Muneeran is running Dairy and livestock breeding
business successfully with plans for expansion to a larger scale. She has
become a successful entrepreneur who is a role model for other members of the
society at the same time.
