About

Akhuwat aims to break the poverty cycle and provide a fighting chance to families in dire need of financial assistance. We need support in our microfinance program to fund collateral-free, 0% interest loans for as little as $100 to empower women in Pakistan and their families. With access to capital, these women can start small businesses, build assets, and gain business skills to generate long-term income and achieve financial independence.
