These all projects have enough profit for an NGO that it can work smoothly and earn enough profit for its working and satisfaction for its business partners.
9. Islamic Based Microfinance
This subject is the most popular model in Pakistan and it is growing very fast. This model can make an NGO not only pre-qualified but also enough self-sustain to run its operations smoothly by its own financial margins. It is also very attractive for main donor agencies like PPAF, USAID and others. If an NPO can start this working for Islamic microfinance, it can give long-term sustainability and surety of the projects from donor agencies.
