Benazir Hunarmand Portal
Benazir Hunarmand Portal: In a significant step toward sustained change, the BISP launched the Benazir Hunarmand Program, a New initiative aiming not just to provide support but to empower families. The program aims to provide low-income and eligible families with the actual skills needed to earn a dignified living and have a more secure future.
What is the Benazir Hunarmand Program?
The Benazir Hunarmand Program is Pakistan’s first structured skill development program designed specifically for BISP beneficiaries. It’s a shift from financial aid alone to giving people the tools to stand on their own feet. Through this initiative, participants will get access to:
- Hands-on technical training
- Vocational and professional skill-building
- Work-based learning experiences
- Support for job placement and financial independence
In short: It’s training, not charity, designed to restore dignity and hope.
