Ms. Ghazala is a promising young Christian lady always ready to accept new challenges. She is well skilled and has opened her own Reproductive, Health and Family Planning Clinic. She took a loan from the Diocesan Micro Credit Scheme and started her Clinic. Here is Ghazala’s success story:
“I achieved management training in the specific field of Reproductive Health and Family Planning from Karachi and Bangkok. During my field work in Gulbahar Colony, Peshawar city, the majority of the women complained that they were unable to reach the centers, which are very far from their homes, and expressed their need to have a clinic in their own area." A landlady offered Ms Ghazala a newly built apartment, to be hired on reasonable rent. "Keeping in view the demand of the neglected women and offer of the landlady, all these facts inspired me to give serious thought to this proposal. I shared this with my friends, a Doctor and a Lady Health Visitor. We surveyed the area; my friends encouraged me to open my own clinic and agreed to offer their part time services. Another hurdle was the finances, my brother-in-law informed me about the Diocesan Micro Credit Scheme. After, having fulfilled all required formalities. I received a loan of Pak Rupees thirty thousand. Now, with the help of the Diocesan Development Office, I run my own responsive Reproductive Health and Family Clinic at Gulbahar Colony, Peshawar. I feel happy and content by offering my services to the underprivileged women. It is also a source to uplift my own family, financially. My gratitude to the Diocese of Peshawar, for their kind assistance.”
