Benazir Kafaalat Program
The Benazir Kafaalat Program is an unconditional cash transfer program of the Benazir Income Support Program, which was launched in 2008. In the beginning, the purpose of this program was to provide cash financial assistance only to women, especially widows, to protect them from the negative effects of food, fuel, and financial crises. But with the passage of time, various changes were made to this program. Now, cash financial assistance is being provided to women from poor and deserving families, as well as widows and especially transgender women.
According to the latest updates, the number of registered beneficiaries of the program is about 9 million, which the government of Pakistan aims to increase to 10 million by next year. In this article, complete information is being provided to women and transgender people on how to get financial assistance after completing the registration. Therefore, women and transgender people who have not yet completed their registration can become part of the program by completing their registration by following the procedure provided in the article.
