Sigue en fase conceptual, pero se espera que se lance pronto.
La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Every few days Pakistan makes the worst kind of headlines: bombings in markets and mosques, battles with the Taleban. But, much less widely reported, the daily lives of millions of Pakistanis are consumed by another problem. They have to cope with desperate poverty.
In death, as in life, Pakistan's poor are often invisible. There are thousands of stories of suicides linked to extreme poverty but they are often relegated to the back pages and marked by just a line or two.
I think the major reasons for people living in extreme poverty( as living on less than US$1 a day) are:
- Lack of Education
- Lack of Skills and knowledge
- Lack of Supporting Income
Due to these they are dependent on beggary, they attempt suicides, they are involved in crimes .
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Therefore we want To alleviate poverty by empowering socially and economically marginalized businesses for poor families through interest free business models, providing educational trainings and skill sets, and by harnessing entrepreneurial potential, capacity building and social guidance.
Our solution will allow poor communities to generate their our income , and get trained and educated through out the whole process.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
1. Our team selects deserving individuals to be Micro Entrepreneurs and we will provide them interest free loan to start their own business.
2. Our team will design innovative business models and provide these Micro Entrepreneurs with businesses that are easy to start with minimum start up costs.
3. We educate these Micro Entrepreneurs with social guidance, capacity building and entrepreneurial trainings.
4. We monitor their performance and their business growth.
5. Micro Entrepreneurs repay capital, grow successfully and lift their communities out of poverty.
6. This whole process becomes where borrower becomes donor .
7. All business models are sustainable and will be expanded thru micro franchises globally.
El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
There are very few Micro financing NGO's working in Pakistan. One of them is "Akhuwat". We pose no challenge from them because we can collaborate with them to grow this model.
Difference between our model is:
1. Other don't provide business models - This is very important becasue your target audience is not educated therefore risks are increased & chances are that your loan is not utilized properly.
2. We provide education and training to our borrowers.
3. We evaluate their performance and grow them with the time and new knowledge.
These are the major differences between us and other competitors.There are many small differences too.

Impacto social
Historia de la fundación: Queremos saber acerca del momento en el que hiciste "¡Ajá!". Comparte la historia de dónde y cuándo el/los fundador(es) vio (vieron) el potencial de esta solución para cambiar el mundo.
One day I sat down and talked to my street guard. And I was shocked to listen his story and how he survived the trauma daily. Starting from his description he is a street guard , works 14 hours and earns only 7000 rupees(74.15 USD).
- Her wife is dead due to cancer as he was unable to send her for treatment.
- Eldest child is a girl who is unable to get married becasue he cant pay for dowry.
- youngest child is a 7 year old girl who had accident therefore lost her leg, beauty bone with severe injuries on head. His father is unable to pay for her leg treatment.
- His Brother and his wife were a victim of Bomb Blast and left their 7 children alone therefore he takes care of them .
i wondered that how much pressure this person suffers daily. Therefore wanted to help him in a way that he can feed his family through self-help and not by donation or beggary.
This model will help many poor people with similar stories and can alleviate poverty.
