About Ihsaas – Financial mobility
The Ihsaas Trust was started in 2012 with a vision to improve social mobility for Karachi’s poor.
The Trust used microfinance as an approach to ease capital constraints for aspiring entrepreneurs to start their own businesses. It opened an application process for people to request funding for assets or working capital through an interest free micro-loan program. During four years of this program’s execution, salient categories of funded projects included setting up small grocery stores, buying equipment for small businesses and buying rickshaws.
To aid current employment generation trends, we are experimenting with new enterprise facilitation models that can pave the way for effective capital deployment and technical capacity building.
