Akhuwat has worked for the well being of both men and women. Those women in who are bread winners of their families face distinct problems.  Irshad Bibi’s life is an example of the type of problems these women face and how Akhuwat has been a savior for them. Akhuwat extended credit to Irshad Bibi a total of five times and emerged as a successful entrepreneur. Initially she opened a PCO but after incurring loss she closed it down and started a small scale garments business. She worked very hard to establish the business and kept expanding it to the point that she finally opened her own shop on PECO road. Currently, she is earning between twelve to fifteen thousand rupees per month. Before borrowing from Akhuwat, Irshad Bibi faced significant financial problems and was burdened with debts. Today she has access to all basic facilities of life and her children receive education in private schools.

Roohi Kausar is one of those rare people who loose everything but still show courage in the face of great difficulties. She belonged to a poor family and the financial situation worsened when her husband died in 1998, leaving her with the responsibility of their seven children.  To aggravate the situation, her son was diagnosed with cancer. She borrowed thousands of rupees for her son’s treatment but he did not survive. Roohi was completely heart broken and facing a dismal state of affairs. It is at this point of time that she decided to put her despair aside and took on sewing work to meet her expenses. Under these circumstances she learnt of Akhuwat and decided to borrow from it to buy herself a new embroidery machine. The whole family combined their efforts and finally managed to repay all their debts. The business was such a success that she now she hires women in her locality, trains them and provides them work to earn their livelihood. At a personal level, after establishing her business, Roohi constructed the first floor of her house, bought her son a new motorcycle rickshaw, married her daughter, and is sending her children to private schools. She has set an example for women whose lives has been affected by life’s circumstances and left them helpless. She has proved that Pakistani women have the potential to stand on their feet if given appropriate opportunities and support.
