𝗔 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: Latifa, from village Khan Muhammad, district #Umerkot, and her family are extremely poor. They do not own land and were working as sharecroppers on the land of a local landlord. Despite their hard labor, they were unable to make ends meet. To cover their family expenses, they had to take loans and soon found themselves trapped in debt.
Latifa says that three years ago, during this difficult time, Thardeep Rural Development Programme provided them with a grant for a cow. Both, she and her spouse took good care of the cow, which eventually gave birth to a bull. Latifa tells that she sold the milk daily, saved the profits, and purchased a grocery cabin for 20,000. When the bull grew up, they sold it for 50,000 and added more items to the grocery cabin.
Now, three years after receiving the grant, Latifa has managed to pay off her loans and cover her household expenses from the earnings of her grocery cabin. She manages to save an additional 200 to 300 daily, which she uses for extra expenses such as medicine and other necessities. Latifa expresses gratitude to #TRDP, the Government of Pakistan, the Ministry of PASS, NPGP, and IFAD for the support that has enabled her family to earn a livelihood without laboring on the land of others or taking loans.
