The family of Ms Samjho Harisingh from union council Khejrai, district Umer Kot, Sindh, was dependent on agriculture only in a desert surrounding with very little yield. The produce was too insufficient to cater for the need of the family of eight including six children. After being identified as an ultra-poor household, her family received grocery items to open a small shop through IFAD funded NPGP. With enough income generation, the family was able to purchase more assets worth PKR 72,000 (USD 413) including a donkey card, a goat, a solar panel, and a ceiling fan within 18 months. Ms Samjho was interested to receive enterprise development training to better and effectively manage her family’s enterprise. Her family is one of the thousands of families who have benefited from NPGP and are about to get graduated from poverty.

“Without proper rain, our crops used to die, we lost our income and went hungry. Now with the livelihood support of the NPGP, we have established a profitable small business. We are no more dependent on agriculture only. Our food intake has improved and from the saving, we have diversified our livelihoods.” ~ Samjho
