From the comfort of his home, Ashraf showcases his collection of intricately designed garments, providing personalized service and attention to detail that sets him apart. With a passion for textiles and a commitment to quality, he has built a loyal customer base and established a thriving business.
Ashraf’s life had been one of constant struggle. Working in the private sector, he barely earned enough to make ends meet, let alone fulfil household expenses and his children's educational needs. The financial strain took a toll on his family life. Despite his best efforts, Ashraf felt trapped in a cycle of financial insecurity. Determined to break free, Ashraf dreamed of starting his own venture. He wanted to be his own boss and create a better life for his family. However, limited financial resources held him back. That's when a friend introduced him to our local development partner - Akhuwat. Ashraf took a leap of faith and applied for a group loan which turned out to be life changing for him. With the financial support, he was able to start his own clothing business from home. As his business flourished, Ashraf's financial worries began to fade away.
Today, Ashraf's family is living a better life than ever before. His children are attending school, and he is proud to provide for their education. Ashraf's success story is a testament to the power of determination and the impact of support from organizations like Lendwithcare and Akhuwat. He is grateful for the opportunity to build a brighter future for himself and his family.
