Rahiba Amjad, a long-running borrower of CSC, does two things at once; she breaks one of the countless stereotypes that is knitted into the mindsets of inhabitants of the Pakistani society that women cannot work and she also simultaneously provides affordable education to underprivileged children from Green-town who would otherwise be denied this basic necessity.

Giving hundreds of children from both genders enrolled in primary and middle school grades, tuition, is not her only contribution to society, she also upholds the concept of integrated conjugal roles, financially contributing to her family’s monthly income and has also hired other previously unemployed female teachers who she personally trained to accompany her in her mission.

However, her life was not always running in such a productive manner; she started her business before getting married, at her parent’s house in a single room and after tying the knot to her spouse her brother’s sold her furniture and asked her to move out, a classic description of patriarchal supremacy. With no individual assets of her own and her husband’s inconsistent income she approached Community Support Concern’s head-office and after a period of 7 years she is now on her seventh loan cycle, has paid the previous installments and is getting a school constructed to have greater infrastructure facilities for her devoted students.

The quality of life for her and her family has drastically increased and she is an inspiration for her community and women in the education department all across Lahore.
