Sabiran Bibi of Jagowala, Gujranwala has about seven acres of cultivable land on which they have cultivated rice these days. Their whole family works in the field at different phases of crop cultivation. Women's most important role is in the beginning of the cultivation and at the harvesting time. Sabiran Bibi availed a loan of Rs 5000 to purchase seeds and fertilizers for her crop. Her crop will be harvested in November. Sabiran, like many other women in rural areas of Sheikhupura and Gujranwala is thrilled by the idea of a bank that is exclusively devoted to provide services to poor women.
