How Government Of Punjab Pakistan CM Mariyam Nawaz Finical Scheme ( Apna Rozgar ) Change Family Life
Apna Rozgar: How a Family’s Life Changed Forever
Zeenat was tired. Every morning, she woke up before dawn, made tea for her husband and children, and then walked to the small stitching job she had in her neighborhood. The pay was low, the hours were long, and despite working day and night, money never seemed to be enough. Her husband, a daily wage laborer, sometimes earned, sometimes didn’t. Bills piled up, children’s school fees were a constant worry, and the weight of helplessness pressed on every corner of their small home in Lahore.
One evening, while scrolling through her phone, Zeenat saw news about the Apna Rozgar scheme introduced by Mariyam Nawaz. The government was offering small financial support and training to people like her, so they could start their own businesses or improve their skills. At first, she hesitated. Could she really do it? Could she manage a small business on her own? But something inside her whispered, “This might be your chance.”
She applied. The process was simple, and within a few weeks, she received her first small financial grant. It wasn’t a fortune, but it was enough to buy a used sewing machine and some fabric. Zeenat didn’t announce it to anyone at first. She wanted to see if she could actually make it work.
The first few weeks were hard. She experimented with stitching, learned to make designs that could sell, and sometimes stayed up late into the night to finish orders. Slowly, neighbors began noticing her work, and soon, small orders started coming in. Zeenat reinvested every penny, buying better materials, learning new stitching techniques, and even saving a little for emergencies.
Months passed, and her small sewing corner grew into a mini home business. Her husband’s worry lines began to soften, her children could afford better school supplies, and for the first time in years, there was laughter in their home that wasn’t about surviving but about hope. Zeenat often thought about that day she applied for the scheme. The grant wasn’t just money—it was freedom, confidence, and opportunity.
Today, Zeenat employs two other women from her neighborhood, helping them support their families too. She often tells them, “A small chance can change your life if you’re willing to work for it.” The Apna Rozgar scheme didn’t just give her money; it gave her a path to independence and a better life for her family. What once felt impossible—paying bills without stress, dreaming about her children’s future, and having control over her own work—is now her everyday reality.
Zeenat’s story is proof that sometimes, all it takes is one opportunity and the courage to take it. The financial support was small, but the impact on her family was monumental. She didn’t just earn money—she earned dignity, hope, and a brighter future.
