Asset Transfer Program – Impact Story

In the quiet village of Bakri Banda, UC Maho Dheri, Saeed Mula Jan’s life was once overshadowed by hardship. A skilled bicycle repairman, he endured not just one tragedy but a series of devastating setbacks.

A fire left his young son paralyzed, plunging the family into emotional and financial turmoil. Soon after, an accident blinded Saeed in one eye, forcing him to close the small workshop that had been his only source of livelihood. With no income, he could only watch as his family of 23 struggled to meet even the most basic needs. Debt mounted, illness spread, and hope seemed to fade away.

Just when the future looked uncertain, the Human Development Foundation’s Asset Transfer Program offered a lifeline.

Through the program, Saeed received the essential tools and materials to restart his bicycle repair shop — and with them, a renewed sense of dignity and purpose. Today, his workshop is once again alive with the sound of tools and the spirit of resilience. Each bicycle he repairs is not just a service to his community, but a step toward rebuilding the stability and security his family had lost.

Saeed is now able to provide for his loved ones with a steady income. More than just economic revival, his transformation reflects strength, resilience, and the life-changing power of opportunity.

His journey is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest of moments, hope can be restored — and with the right support, challenges can indeed turn into opportunities.
