Rafia Bibi's story

43-year-old Rafia Bibi from Bahawalnagar had no one to rely on when she lost her husband 16 years ago. She was left alone to take care of her daughter and her 2-year-old son. She says she cannot explain the struggle of feeding her children as each day used to present new challenges to their survival. Despite all odds, Rafia Bibi was able to raise her two children. The three of them lived in a one-room apartment from where Rafia started sewing clothes and selling them for a living. She has been doing this small business for 16 years now and her son, who is now 18, works at a shop to ease his mother's burden, contributing Rs. 6000 monthly. 

Rafia Bibi is an extremely deserving lady. She earns too little and has to pay the rent of her one-room apartment as well. She recently got her daughter married, which used up all the savings she had. She has only Rs 10,000 worth of stock left and no money to purchase additional stock of clothes. Her life's circumstances are impossible and are expected to deteriorate further if she does nothing about her business. To prevent even extreme hardships, Rafia Bibi has approached Seed Out. She has requested a loan of $175 to expand her business and plans to buy a greater amount of stock. 

With greater sales, Rafia Bibi's life will surely ease. To help improve Rafia Bibi's life, donate to her business and help her see better days.
