Empowering 9.3 Million Rural Women Nationwide through BISP
The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) has been a lifeline for millions of women, particularly in rural areas. The initiative is continuously expanding its reach to ensure women across the nation benefit from the support provided by the BISP Kafalat Initiative. In Sindh alone, over 700,000 beneficiaries have been served, with ongoing registration processes facilitated through BISP Tehsil offices and NADRA Mobile Registration Vans.
BISP’s Impact on Rural Women in 2024
Collaborating with the federal BISP, the Sindh government has aided more than 7 million individuals in the province as of 2024. Through the Benazir Kafalat program, eligible women receive Rs. 10,500 quarterly, offering crucial assistance to economically disadvantaged households.
As the demand for economic empowerment rises in Sindh, especially among rural women, there is a growing need for sustainable development plans that promote resilience and self-sufficiency, rather than just short-term financial aid. Numerous success stories from Sindh showcase women investing in small businesses, achieving financial stability, and empowerment.
