Alhamdulillah, following a detailed assessment and necessary awareness sessions, the Orphan Care Afghanistan Welfare Organization established and handed over small businesses through the Qarz-e-Hasana program to 11 more orphans and their direct guardians in Kabul Province.
The businesses established include:
1. Food shops (5 businesses)
2. Slipper shop
3. Glass shop
4. Electrical appliances shop
5. Tailoring businesses (2 businesses)
6. Bakery
Through this program, each eligible beneficiary receives an interest-free loan of approximately 25,000 AFN to start a small business, become self-reliant, and reduce the economic challenges faced by their families.
Beneficiaries will gradually repay the loan by depositing 1,500 to 2,000 AFN per month into the bank account of the Orphan Care Afghanistan Welfare Organization until the full loan amount is repaid. This is an interest-free loan, and no beneficiary is charged any additional amount, fee, or interest under this program.
Alhamdulillah, with the establishment of these 11 new businesses, the total number of small businesses established through this program has reached 319.
This program is specifically designed for orphans and their direct guardians and is continuously ongoing to provide more vulnerable families with opportunities for self-reliance and economic empowerment.
