My name is Adil Bahadur, and I live in Yousaf Nagar, Sherakot. My father works as a laborer, and with the rising inflation, we struggled to make ends meet. My brother, Fazal Bahadur, is a student, and it was incredibly tough for my father to cover our educational expenses on top of food and bills.
From Struggle to Stability Through Tuckshop Business
At a time when we needed it most, JECUP and GCR stepped in and helped me open a tuckshop. With their support, I was able to start a small business. Over time, I have expanded the tuckshop, adding a fridge and common grocery items like sugar, lentils, and flour. This has not only provided a steady income but has also allowed me to support my father and pay for my siblings’ education. This tuck shop is paying my utility bills as well. My monthly income is between PKR 25,000 to 28,000. I am incredibly grateful for the timely intervention of JECUP and GCR. Their support has made a significant difference in our lives, and I am proud to be able to help my family in return
