We’re committed to expanding our micro finance projects. We currently have a rickshaw project and a higher education scholarship initiative, both aimed at advancing our sustainable objectives, empowering vulnerable communities to break the cycle of poverty.
Through this micro finance program, we purchase rickshaws and distribute them to individuals who can use them as a source of income to support their families. Our beneficiaries then make monthly repayments over a 15-month period, at which point they become the full owners of the rickshaw. The repayments are then reinvested back into the program to help support additional families in need, particularly orphan-led households.
We believe that this micro-finance scheme will have a positive and sustainable impact on the community by providing individuals with a pathway to economic independence and stability.
The Zahra Trust is dedicated to promoting economic development by empowering widows and vulnerable women with the resources to achieve economic independence. A standout example is our project in Diwaniyah, where we supported widow Alawiya Fatima to open a women’s salon and cosmetics business, transforming her into a self-reliant entrepreneur.
Through such projects, we aim to create a ripple effect of economic empowerment that not only uplifts individual women but also strengthens their families and enriches their communities. This approach is central to our mission of promoting sustainable development and resilience among the most vulnerable groups we serve.
