From Stall to Shop
From Stall to Shop
Earlier, Mustafa Hakim sold his wares from a simple roadside stall. Members of Tijaarat Raabehah surveyed his locality, saw the challenges his family faced and encouraged him to rent a nearby shop. With the financial and business assistance of The Saifee Foundation and Tijaarat Raabehah, he was able to take the shop on rent and expand on a larger scale. His story is a reflection of how The Saifee Foundation initiatives turn uncertainty into stability and help build sustainable livelihoods.
