A Sustainable Income for Pakistani Widows

“Whoever relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, Allah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Resurrection.” (Muslim)

Provide a sustainable source of income to a vulnerable widow. Five goats will provide a family with protein-rich milk and the opportunity to sell excess milk to generate an income for the family. For the rural population of Pakistan, livestock are sources of security and the goats can be bred to increase the herd.

43% of people in Pakistan don’t have reliable access to enough food, and many struggle to support their families. It can be especially tough for women, particularly when they find themselves unexpectedly becoming the breadwinner for their children. Women and girls experience poverty more acutely than boys and men, have lower literacy rates, and face more social barriers when they enter the workforce.

But when you donate to this project, you’ll support some of the most vulnerable families, headed by women and widows without a means to support themselves.

Your donation will help a family to have a sustainable source of nutrition and income. We will also provide each widow with livestock management training so that they are able to effectively manage and benefit from a growing herd.
