Khudkafeel

Helping flood-hit families move from relief to self-reliance through small businesses.

about the project

What Khudkafeel is about

Khudkafeel means “self-reliant”. Growing straight out of Charity Scouts, it helps flood-affected micro-entrepreneurs in District Sukkur rebuild what the 2022 floods washed away: stock, tools, carts and working capital. Most had no access to banks or collateral-based loans.

What we do

  • Micro-finance and seed capital to restore assets for vendors and family businesses
  • Business mentoring designed for owners with limited formal literacy
  • Financial literacy: basic bookkeeping, inventory, customer care and reinvesting profit
  • Building businesses that can withstand the next economic shock
