Nazma is a mother of three, after separating from her husband, she became the sole bread-winner of the family. Her days were very difficult and whatever she managed to earn as a labourer in a tailor shop was not enough to meet her family needs. It was so hard that she had to take her children out of school. Children’s Hope were able to fund the further education of her son Omar, as well as providing nutrition and family healthcare. To allow Nazma to start saving for the future Children’s Hope awarded her with a non-refundable grant of US$385 (£315) to establish her own tailoring shop. Now with the extra income she can support the education of her other children as well as contributing to the accommodation costs of relatives
