Self employed electrician in Jhelum

I now run my own business in Pakistan thanks to the training courses and resources offered by the PGFRC centre. I am delighted to be near my family again.

The right recipe for success

I came back to Pakistan in 2018 after spending some time abroad. I wanted to be with my family again. The Pakistani-German Facilitation and Reintegration Centre – PGFRC – enabled me to take part in a cookery course. That formed the basis for the snack van that I’m now running successfully.

Finally back with my family

A training programme taught me how to manage my own taxi business.

When I returned to Pakistan after several years, I was very worried about how to feed my family. But then I had a business idea - and got support. Now I have a stable income. One of my dreams has been fulfilled.
