Naila’s Journey

Naila, a separated woman from District Rawalakot AJK and mother of a 5-year-old son, was struggling to meet her child’s educational and daily needs without any source of income. Through a referral from a community organization, she connected with the Women Welfare Organization (WWO). She received training and developed a business plan to produce dishwashing products, along with startup support. Alhamdulillah, Naila has now launched her own dishwashing brand. With support from her local community and the District Resilience Circle, she is earning a stable income and building a better future for her son.
