Urgent Appeals

We are seeking PKR 270,000 (US$ 1,000) to establish an independent retail confectionery micro-business cabin and inventory for Shehzad Hussain, giving him daily sustainable cashflow.

Shehzad Hussain is a resilient 24-year-old resident of Magsi Mohalla, Old Saddar, Shikarpur. Following a tragic road traffic accident and due to extreme financial hardship preventing timely private medical intervention, one of his legs had to be amputated.

Despite this severe life-altering physical impairment, Shehzad Hussain refused to surrender to dependency. He secured employment as a factory machine operator and worked long daily hours to provide food and basic medical care for his elderly parents, younger siblings, and dependent family of nine.

However, on September 20, 2026, the industrial facility abruptly shut down all operations due to economic instability, leaving Shehzad without employment or any alternative income stream. Unable to perform heavy physical labor, his family now faces severe food insecurity.

DIN Pakistan is directly sponsoring Shehzad to set up a roadside retail cabin stocked with non-perishable consumer goods and trade starter inventory. This package restores his economic self-sufficiency, grants him physical accessibility, and enables him to earn an estimated PKR 1,200 to PKR 1,500 daily to provide for his family with honor and dignity.
