in&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Baldia Town, Karachi. She is a mother of five children and&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">has completed her matriculation. Her husband, M. Nadeem,&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">earns around PKR 15,000 per month by doing labor work.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To support her family, Aqila works from home as a stitching&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">worker.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Before receiving any formal training, Aqila used to earn&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">around PKR 10,000 per month by stitching clothes for a few&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">customers in her neighborhood. She had limited outreach and&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">lacked the professional skills to grow her work further.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Managing both her home and work was always a challenge,&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">especially due to financial pressure and the responsibility of&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">raising five children.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">With the support of UNDP and HomeNet Pakistan (HNP), Aqila got the chance to join a vocational&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">training program, where she learned basic stitching and fabric designing. Her course fee and travel&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">expenses were fully covered, and she received her travel allowance through a cash app, which also&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">helped her improve her financial management and become more comfortable with digital tools.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">During the training, Aqila also gained knowledge in marketing, small business management, and&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">online selling. These new skills helped her improve the quality of her work and present herself as&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">a certified professional. As a result, more customers started approaching her from outside her&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">immediate area, and now she earns between PKR 15,000 to 20,000 monthly. This growth has not&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">only boosted her income but also her confidence and self respect.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Despite continuing financial challenges and the difficulty of balancing home and work, Aqila&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">remains determined. She wants to keep learning and stay connected with HomeNet Pakistan for&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">future opportunities. She dreams of becoming a proud and independent mother, who can fulfill her&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">children\u2019s small wishes and give them a better life.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Aqila believes that with continued support and her own hard work, she will be able to build a stable&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">and secure future for her family.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-be654a4 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"be654a4\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Case Studies Of Aqeela Begum Sr.No Name Father\/Husband Category Address Profession 40 Aqeela Begum Mohammad Nadeem HBW Baldia, Karachi Stitching\/Fabric Design Case Studies Of Aqeela Begum Aqila Begum is a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5452,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_header_footer","format":"standard","meta":{"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":"","_tec_slr_enabled":"","_tec_slr_layout":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-case-studie"],"ticketed":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5451"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5451\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5456,"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5451\/revisions\/5456"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
