Rural Community is facing
acute poverty and all the ills that stem out
of it. This condition is result of unequal
distribution of wealth and other social
injustices. This majority of marginalized
people lack access to the financial
resources.
There is strong
realization on the part of decision makers
that prevalence of poverty must be reduced
if not eradicated. It is also desired in the
Millennium Development Goals which seek to
eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. In
keeping with it, Government of Pakistan and
Government of Sindh have taken several
initiatives with the help of donors. SRSO
feels happy to be a partner in such efforts
to address poverty. It is striving to
achieve this goal in its target area.
Among other initiatives,
disbursement of micro credit to the
marginalized people has played an important
role to help them to bring about some
positive change in their plight.
Given this, SRSO has
established a Rural Credit Sector and has
negotiated a sizeable fund to be disbursed
to the socially mobilized and organized
community against its collective and
individual collateral. During the reporting
period, Rural Credit Sector SRSO disbursed
huge amount of credit or financed the number
of professions.
