💡 What is the BISP Kafalat Program?

The BISP Kafalat Program is one of Pakistan’s largest social protection programs, launched in 2008. It provides quarterly cash assistance to eligible low-income families, especially those led by women.

In 2025, the government increased BISP’s budget to Rs. 716 billion, showing a strong commitment to fighting poverty and inflation.

The program supports:

  • Widows & single mothers

  • Elderly women without income

  • Low-income families below the poverty line


🎯 Why the Rs. 14,500 Payment Matters

Everyday essentials like flour, vegetables, medicine, and transport have become more expensive. The Rs. 1,000 increase per quarter (totaling Rs. 14,500) may seem small—but for many families, it means:

  • More groceries on the table

  • Money for schoolbooks or uniforms

  • Bus fare for a hospital visit

And with 700,000 new families being added to the program in 2025, even more people will benefit from this support.
