Asmat Sarfraz, a 47-year-old resident of Lahore, lives with her husband, two daughters and two sons. Her children are all studying, while her husband works in the private sector, earning £52 a month.
For the past six years, Asmat Sarfraz has been operating a home-based grocery store, offering a variety of essentials and treats, such as pulses, spices, flour, biscuits, crisps, sweets, lentils, cooking oil, soaps and creams.
With a focus on fair pricing, she has built a loyal customer base, with a particular popularity for her snack selection among schoolchildren and budget-conscious customers. Her business generates a steady monthly income of approximately £44.
Asmat Sarfraz has now applied for a loan to replenish her stock and expand her product offerings, including essential items like rice, whole wheat flour, refined flour, spices, tea, and a wider range of snacks. This strategic move will enhance her store's competitiveness, attract new customers, and boost sales, contributing to the growth and sustainability of her business.
