ABOUT AKHUWAT — THE WORLD'S LARGEST INTEREST-FREE MICROFINANCE MOVEMENT
Imagine a world where no one is trapped by the crushing weight of poverty — where a single mother can start a small business, a young student can attend university, and an entire family can rebuild after disaster — all without paying a single rupee in interest. That world isn't a dream. That world is Akhuwat.
Founded in 2001 by Dr Muhammad Amjad Saqib in a small mosque in Lahore with just PKR 10,000, Akhuwat began with a revolutionary idea rooted in the Islamic principle of Mawakhat — the spirit of brotherhood first established by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) when he united the people of Madinah with the migrants of Makkah.
Today, Akhuwat stands as the world's largest interest-free microfinance organisation, having disbursed over PKR 431 billion DISBURSED IN INTEREST-FREE LOANS to over 3.8M+ NUMBER OF BENEFICIARIES across 440+ cities — with an extraordinary 99.84% repayment rate.
But Akhuwat is far more than microfinance. Its programmes span fee-free education through Pakistan's first tuition-free residential university, healthcare, clothing distribution, disaster relief, and pioneering support for marginalised communities.
Akhuwat's model has been featured as a case study at Harvard Kennedy School and recognised by the United Nations and the World Economic Forum. Dr Saqib received the Ramon Magsaysay Award in 2022 — Asia's Nobel Prize — and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Akhuwat UK Trust (Registered Charity No. 1136317) channels the generosity of British donors into life-changing programmes. 100% of your donation reaches those in need. Your Zakat, Sadaqah, and contributions become interest-free loans that are repaid and recycled — multiplying your impact infinitely.
One donation. Countless lives transformed. Forever. This is not charity. This is a revolution of compassion.
