Parveen Siddique Masih Group

Parveen baji is a 45 year old married lady who has lived in Lahore, Pakistan for the past 28 years. She is an uneducated lady because her parents couldn’t bear her education expenses. Parveen baji married Siddique Masih, who is a driver by profession and drives an auto-rickshaw (a local three-wheeled motor vehicle). Parveen baji is the mother of one son whose name is Riaz masih and he runs a boutique. Parveen baji helps her son in his boutique by preparing embroidered dresses which her son displays in his boutique. Parveen baji did not learn this art from anyone, but believes it was a gift from God. Her son feels proud to be her son. She successfully repaid her first loan from Asasah (a microfinance institute of Pakistan). Now she is applying again for a loan to buy materials (clothes, colored thread and sketches) for her son’s boutique.

Parveen baji is the group leader of five other women from her locality. Adfarina baji wants a loan to buy cricket products (bat & ball) to sell. Mussarat zareen baji and Alvina baji each want a loan to buy clothes to sell. Rani baji wants a loan to buy leather for her shoe making business. Shamim baji wants a loan to buy vehicle spare parts to sell.

This is a group loan. The loan funds will be distributed among the group members, each of whom will invest in her own business. The members mutually guarantee one another's loans. If one member does not repay, the other members are responsible.




About Group Loans
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a group of individuals bound by a group guarantee. Under this arrangement, each member of the group supports one another and is responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members if someone is delinquent or defaults. Learn more
