BARKAT - Prosperity With Dignity

    Description
    Description
    Keeping in view the situation of poverty in rural areas of Pakistan, The NGO World launched a Shari'ah compliant, livestock-based poverty reduction initiative "BARKAT" by initially distributing 100 cows and 200 goats to small home based livestock farmers on partnership basis along with provision of services related to animal health. It is a self-sustainable model that creates chain of beneficiaries.
    BARKAT aims to:
    • Enhance earning of poor livestock farmers by keeping their dignity intact
    • Provide technical knowledge and create awareness to get maximum BENEFITS out of cattle
    • Raise awareness about social issues and connecting them with resources.
