Jamali’s father died when she was still a child. But her tragedy did not end there. Her elder brother who took up the challenge of supporting their family of six members also died in an accident soon after. This was the time when Jamali’s family was fighting hard for survival as her younger brother was too young to earn and the family had no one else to turn to for help.
It was then that Jamali—though being the second in the family after her elder sister
decided to take up the big task of providing for her family that included her younger brother, sisters and mother.
Tailoring being her subject of interest, Jamali took admission in the Jafakash Aurat Project at Gwadar. On completing the course, she started her own tailoring and sewing business and very soon received a great response from her locality. As a result of her tailoring business picking up fast, she also trained and involved two of her sisters.
Jamali became quite popular in the locality for her tailoring and sewing skills and innovative dress designing. Yet her friends and relatives could not relate to her dynamic vision and denied her any financial support. Fortunately, Khushhali Bank Limited offered her a timely loan through Jafakash Aurat Project, and now her monthly income has grown from Rs3000 to an astounding Rs14,000.
Her two sisters are also contributing to the family income by being actively involved in Jamali’s tailoring business. Microfinance from Khushhali Bank Limited has brought a major change in her life and her family’s living condition has also changed tremendously.
Jamali has now become a role model for many a woman in the area, with the kind of confidence, determination and belief she wields in herself.
