In remote villages, single mothers earn only $1–$2 a day. SMILE provides them with a cow, transforming their daily struggles into opportunities for sustainable income.
From milk sales to products like ghee and butter, mothers’ incomes more than double. They move from survival wages to building profitable businesses.
Children no longer need to work in fields with hazardous chemicals. Instead, they attend school—gaining knowledge, safety, and the chance at a better future.
This is not a one-time donation. Cows reproduce, creating small herds. One cow today becomes three or four tomorrow, securing long-term financial stability for families.
In the rural district of Lodhran, Ayesha Mai, a widow, spent years working as a maid in different homes just to survive. Every day was a battle to feed her children and hold onto hope.
Through FKFP’s SMILE (Single Mother Initiative for Livestock Empowerment) Program, she received a cow
and a calf — a gift that became the turning point of her life.
Today, Ayesha proudly owns three cows and runs a small dairy business from her home. She no longer works as
a maid; she earns with dignity, supports her family, and makes her own decisions with confidence and pride, “Now, I stand strong. My cows gave me independence and a new life.”
Empower a woman, and you empower an entire family.
Life tested Bakhtoo Bibi too early. Widowed at a young age and left to raise three children alone, she worked
tirelessly in people’s homes just to feed them — but no matter how hard she tried, it was never enough.
Through our SMILE – Single Mother Initiative for Livestock Empowerment program, we gave her a cow and a calf
— a small gift that became the start of a new life. With love and dedication, she cared for them, and today, she
owns two healthy cows. Her small dairy income has grown to over Rs. 25,000 each month, and her livestock is
now worth more than Rs. 300,000.
Bakhtoo Bibi now stands tall — no longer dependent, but empowered. Her children are fed, her home is filled with
hope, and her smile tells the story of resilience and faith restored.
Faiz Mai, a widow and mother of two, worked as a maid and tailor but could barely earn enough to feed her children. Life was a daily struggle. Through the FKFP SMILE Project, she received a cow and a calf a small gift that changed everything. With hard work and care, her animals multiplied. Today, Faiz Mai proudly owns three cows and two calves, runs a small dairy business, and earns enough to send her children to school. Her home is now filled with hope, smiles, and the sound of a better life beginning.
