Shatari recounts his past struggles, where he had no choice but to beg for his family’s survival. However, the tide turned when NSIP’s Conditional Cash Transfer initiative reached him. NSIP’s impact extended beyond Shatari himself, reaching his wife and other apprentices. Previously unemployed, Shatari’s wife now engages in petty trading, thanks to the CCT intervention. By sharing the stipend he received, Shatari enabled his wife to establish her own income-generating activity. This comprehensive approach to empowerment highlights NSIP’s commitment to uplifting entire households, thereby breaking the cycle of poverty.

By granting loans and access to capital, the program stimulates economic activity, encourages entrepreneurship, and promotes self-reliance. Many beneficiaries have been able to expand their businesses, create employment opportunities, and contribute to their communities’ development.
