Testimonials
Many thanks for your kind welcome. Your “cost-cutting” methodology is very inspiring for us. I hope to visit you again soon.
MICROFINANCE SPECIALIST CONSULTATIVE GROUP TO ASSIST THE POOR (CGAP)
I had a very interesting discussion with the Board Members of Akhuwat Foundation along with Dr Muhammad Amjad Saqib. We discussed mostly the mission of Akhuwat and I was impressed with the commitment of Akhuwat Board Members. I met a few borrowers in Akhuwat Shah Jamal Branch, these borrowers are very passionate about the services being rendered by Akhuwat. They were of the view that they have the same responsibility to contribute to the wellbeing of society as done by Akhuwat. Akhuwat Foundation is a very unique model.
