A major gathering in Lahore celebrated the transformative social work of Akhuwat, showcasing its nationwide impact in poverty alleviation and education. The event, held at Bahria Town, brought together the organization's dedicated donors, civil society representatives, and supporters from diverse backgrounds.
A Legacy of Empowering Millions
Addressing the attendees, Dr. Muhammad Amjad Saqib, the Founder and Chairman of Akhuwat, revealed remarkable achievements. He stated that Akhuwat's flagship interest-free microfinance program is operating successfully across Pakistan. To date, this initiative has provided crucial financial support to more than four million families, offering them a sustainable path out of poverty.
Dr. Saqib emphasized the program's exceptional sustainability, noting an impressive loan recovery rate of 99.9 percent. This near-perfect rate underscores the community's trust in the model and the responsible utilization of funds by borrowers.
Expanding Horizons: Free Quality Education
Beyond microfinance, Dr. Saqib detailed Akhuwat's significant contributions to the education sector. He shared that Akhuwat College Kasur is offering free, high-quality education along with residential facilities to hundreds of deserving students from across the nation.
Similarly, Akhuwat Women College Chakwal is providing the same invaluable opportunity—free, quality education and free residential facilities—exclusively to female students from all over Pakistan. These institutions are breaking down financial barriers and creating avenues for academic excellence.
Fueled by Generosity
Dr. Saqib made it clear that these wide-reaching initiatives are not possible without backing. He stressed that every achievement is made possible through the generous and consistent support of donors. Their contributions directly fuel the cycle of empowerment, allowing Akhuwat to scale its operations and touch more lives.
At the conclusion of the event, participants unanimously expressed their appreciation for Akhuwat's groundbreaking work. They reaffirmed their commitment to continue supporting the organization, ensuring its mission of creating an equitable society moves forward with even greater momentum.
