Farooq Ismail’s shop and business rebuild by USAID

Farooq Ismail’s shop was ruined by a fire ignited by protestors(shia) on 28th December, 2009. Ashes were all over the market. Stock in go-down and shops along with valuable documents were burnt. Ismail lost his only source of income.

With a U.S. grant, Farooq was able to rebuild his business once again. He used the grant to renovate and restock his shop. “I’m very thankful to USAID, as it supported us in the crucial times and revived our lost businesses," he said.
