How your gift helps

Sometimes we need a helping hand to make a new start. That’s where the gift of a Business Kick-Starter comes in. Karimun’s (pictured) family were devastated when her daughter Shabnam tested positive for HIV, and soon after Shabnam’s husband left her. Support from Tearfund’s partner EFICOR has helped lift their family out of depression and equip them with resources to rebuild their life.

Last year, EFICOR worked with Karimun to help her restart her shop, which she'd had to close for several months due to some financial problems. This crucial support from EFICOR helped the family to get back on their feet and meet their day-to-day needs. Life is looking brighter for Karimun’s family as EFICOR continues to support her and her daughter.
