Good news for poor and needy families in Pakistan!
The 8171 Ehsaas Program Phase 3 payments have started. Families who qualify will now get Rs. 13,500. This money is for families who have completed the NSER survey and meet the government’s rules.
If you have completed your NSER survey and have a valid CNIC, you can receive this financial support during these challenging times.
