giving opportunities is more powerful than giving aid

Kifalat Program

Since 2008, Relief Foundation International has been working across Pakistan. While our efforts span education, health, food, and welfare, our primary focus remains Education and Employment, because we believe change begins when individuals stand on their own feet.

To achieve this vision, we launched this program to empower people with sustainable employment opportunities, helping them break free from the cycle of poverty and dependency.

WHAT?

The Kifalat Program is RFi’s initiative designed to help families become financially independent.

Instead of giving short-term aid, we provide skills training, job opportunities, and small-scale business programs.

Through this system, individuals can build long-term, dignified sources of income and support their families with stability.

WHY?

Because poverty cannot be solved with temporary help, it needs sustainable opportunities. Millions of people lack access to jobs, skills, and resources.

By empowering one person to earn, an entire family rises out of poverty.

The Kifalat Program turns dependency into self-reliance, enabling communities to grow with confidence, dignity, and long-term economic stability.

How the Kifalat Program Works?

The Kifalat Program creates employment through a practical, step-by-step system. We identify families in need, train them in suitable skills, and place them into sustainable earning opportunities. Some receive goats or agricultural work, others learn digital or technical skills, and many join retail or e-commerce programs. Each project is designed so participants can immediately start earning and continue growing their income independently. Through training, tools, mentorship, and real job pathways
