Success Story of Hakima Baloch - Vocational Training Graduate of HOPE/Procter & Gamble ​

At HOPE, our goal is to end poverty in Pakistan​. We focus on empowering women and children because we know that both possess a wealth of untapped potential for any country​. This also means that we are fortunate enough to witness firsthand many success stories within our own beneficiaries. We celebrate the stories of individual families achieving financial freedom because collectively these stories help us get closer to our goal of ending poverty in Pakistan.

Our video (made in conjunction with Procter & Gamble) depicts the *story of how Hakima Baloch was able to stand on her own two feet after her husband unexpectedly passed away and she was left alone with the responsibility of a household and her three children. Hakima received vocational training in sewing/embroidery at HOPE's Vocational Center in Badin, Pakistan. Below is Hakima's story in her own words:

"They say that those who have no one have God. And the reach of God encompasses all souls. In my story there is me (narrator - Hakima Baloch), my dream, and just HOPE. Three years ago, my husband, the breadwinner in my family passed away all of a sudden and l was left alone with three kids to care for along with a small house. When my husband passed away, my life became exceedingly difficult. Because of the cost of basic necessities, my children's happiness was put to the stake. In order to fulfill our basic daily needs, everyone was forced to sacrifice. My mom used to give me this advice, that while I had my own talents and skills, I would not be on the receiving end from anyone. This teaching came true for me in the form of HOPE, where my dreams received a home [in which to grow]. I put in a little effort and received the fruit of my struggles from HOPE. It is absolutely true that those who have no one have God, and the reach of God encompasses all souls. HOPE has made many stories just like my own a reality. HOPE, hope is the right of the world."​

HOPE is proud to have partnered with Procter & Gamble whereby which we have positively impacted the lives of over 11,600 young girls throughout Pakistan. We have established 6 (building a 7th) Vocational Centers in Pakistan in which young adults are given income-generating training in either computer languages or sewing/embroidery. 80% of our students are females.​

Once again, thank you to all our supporters for celebrating these success stories with us!
