in&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Baldia Town, Karachi. She has a primary education&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">and is the mother of five children. After the passing&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">of her husband, Ghaffar Ahmed, who was an&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">employee and now receives a pension of PKR&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">20,000, Zahida became the main support for her&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">family. She works as a home-based stitching&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">worker, trying to make ends meet through her&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">skills.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Managing the household on her own while raising&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">five children has been extremely challenging. Zahida&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">shared that it was very hard to handle home&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">responsibilities and stitching work together, especially during the busy seasons. Despite putting in&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">a lot of effort, customers paid very little, and her income was too low to meet the growing needs&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">of her family. She also had limited access to customers, selling only within her own neighborhood,&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">and didn\u2019t have the confidence or knowledge to expand her business.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">With the support of UNDP and HomeNet Pakistan (HNP), Zahida enrolled in a vocational training&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">program where she learned basic stitching and fabric designing. Her training fee and transport&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">expenses were fully covered, and she received a travel allowance through a cash app, which helped&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">her build confidence in handling money and using digital tools.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Before joining the course, Zahida earned around PKR 8,000 per month. However, after completing&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">the training, she became a certified professional with better stitching skills and a deeper&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">understanding of marketing, business management, and online selling. She improved the quality&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">of her work, attracted new customers, and even started selling her products online. This helped&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">increase her monthly income to around PKR 15,000 to 18,000, depending on the season and&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">demand.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Zahida now feels more empowered and confident. She is determined to continue learning and&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">hopes to take a computer course, like Microsoft Office, in the future with HNP\u2019s support. Her goal&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">is to become more financially stable, continue supporting her children\u2019s education and needs, and&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">build a secure and independent life 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 Zahida Parveen Sr.No Name Father\/Husband Category Address Profession 45 Zahida Parveen Ghaffar Ahmad HBW Baldia,Karach Stitching\/Fabric Design Case Studies Of Zahida Parveen Zahida Parveen is a 47-year-old [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5485,"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-5484","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\/5484","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=5484"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5484\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5489,"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5484\/revisions\/5489"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5485"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5484"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
