Rickshaw Business

Zahoor is the breadwinner of his large family. His main income was from driving a rickshaw. Previously, however, Zahoor was involved in a road accident, which resulted in his rickshaw being written off.

Since the accident, Zahoor had no resources to replace the rickshaw and therefore began looking for work elsewhere. Zahoor was unskilled and found it very difficult to find work. But without income his family would have no food.

Zahoor approached Shahnam and explained his situation. Shahnam assessed his case and funded his new rickshaw, which he currently drives for his taxi business. He is now able to support his family.
