Sonya Charagh is the inspiration behind our new project. With a small, interest-free loan from Akhuwat, she transformed from a struggling mother into a confident home-based entrepreneur. Many skilled women like Sonya just need a small push. Help us provide microloans so they can support their families, feed their children, and lift themselves out of poverty with dignity.
In underserved communities, women with strong skills in knitting and handcrafting often work from home to support their families. Despite their talent, they remain stuck in a cycle of poverty because they lack access to capital, markets, and financial education. Predatory loans are not an option, and their limited earnings are quickly consumed by daily expenses, leaving no room for growth or stability.
This project offers interest-free microloans to women running home-based knitting businesses, enabling them to buy quality materials, invest in tools, fulfill larger orders, and set up productive workspaces. Sonya Charagh's success shows the impact, she used her loan to grow her knitting business, support her children's education, and build a stable future.
This project is not just about income, it's about dignity, stability, and generational change. When a woman becomes economically independent: 1- Her children are more likely to stay in school 2- Health and nutrition improve 3- Financial decisions shift toward long-term stability 4- The cycle of poverty is broken Every repaid loan is reinvested to help another woman. It's a sustainable model of empowerment, built on trust and community.
