Lahore, Pakistan — Kashf Foundation is proud to announce a landmark partnership with Habib Bank Limited (HBL), which has extended a Rs. 3.5 billion credit facility to support the growth and sustainability of women-led enterprises across Pakistan.
This strategic collaboration aims to provide affordable and accessible credit to thousands of women entrepreneurs, particularly in remote and underserved regions where access to formal financial services remains limited. By bridging the financing gap for women, the partnership underscores a shared commitment to enhancing financial inclusion and economic empowerment for women at the grassroots level.
“This partnership with HBL marks a significant step forward in our mission to build an inclusive financial ecosystem that enables women to thrive,” said Roshaneh Zafar, Managing Director of Kashf Foundation. “With this facility, we can further scale our impact and reach women who are often excluded from traditional banking services.”
HBL, one of Pakistan’s largest commercial banks, continues to play a leading role in advancing gender-inclusive financing through sustainable and responsible banking practices.
Together, Kashf Foundation and HBL are building a future where women entrepreneurs are not only included but empowered—transforming communities, one enterprise at a time.
