Humbled to have been invited to speak at the 4th IMFN Conference by Dr. Muhammad Amjad Saqib Sb & his team. Spoke of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s vision with regards to promoting micro-entrepreneurship & how Kamyab Jawan’s 4 tier business loan programme is designed to 'build people'.
The power of microfinance & micro-entrepreneurs is evident. Tier 1 under Kamyab Jawan’s 4-tier business loan program gives interest & collateral free loans up to PKR 0.5 Million & was designed to uplift the micro-entrepreneurs of Pakistan.
It was Akhuwat's Islamic Microfinance model that inspired us to introduce the 1st tier. Akhuwat's model has given an alternative to traditional banks' lending model & soon shall be taught at universities.
Empathy, trust & the passion to raise the income level of a common Pakistani are the key drivers of it; exactly aligning with the vision of Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Government initiatives like Kamyab Jawan & Kamyab Pakistan are catalysing the process of 'dreaming big' for the masses. It's the introduction of such programmes that will empower, build & grow the youth, the future of Pakistan.
