The program has also been completely linked to banks, better services and care for the beneficiaries. 2009 also marked a new chapter with the introduction of a micro-credit plan for widows to enable them to become self-sustained with a regular income. The Wakf Profit Fund Project was launched in late 2009 in Kerala and expanded to the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu in 2010, benefiting over 200 widows with Qard Hasanah loans for micro-enterprises. |
