In this episode, we dive into the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) – Pakistan’s largest social welfare initiative that has been a lifeline for millions of families since 2008. The program was designed to support underprivileged households, especially women, by providing them with direct financial assistance to meet their basic needs.
We’ll talk about how BISP has evolved over the years, from simple cash transfers to a more transparent and tech-based system that allows people to check their eligibility through the 8171 web portal and SMS services. You’ll also hear about how the program isn’t just about financial aid, but also focuses on long-term social development through education and health support.
