A Session was arranged on Saturday ,May
2nd , 2015 in the Entrepreneurial
Management MBA Executive class of Dr. Shahid
Qureshi
Syed Hussain Haider, Director, Akhuwat
Institute of Social Enterprise and
Management (AISEM) and Project Director
of Akhuwat University visited IBA Center
for Entrepreneurial Development to
conduct session on "Leading an
Organization Through innovation: A
Casestudy of Akhuwat". He interacted
with students of MBA Executive , Certificate in
Entrepreneurship and various students
from other universities.
Syed Hussain Haider shared and discussed
all the innovative projects and programs
of Akhuwat with the participants.
With that he mentioned that one cannot
kindle the urge to learn something
unless you realize you know nothing.
That is the sole reason he praised Dr.
Amjad Saqib as his mentor, the Founder
of Akhuwat Foundation, while repeatedly
putting light upon how Dr. Amjad chose
modesty and simplicity as his approach
in leading and inspiring his staff in
order to set the clear idea of the
mission Akhuwat Foundation struggles to
serve.
The very purpose of Akhuwat Foundation's
existence is not just to provide finance
but to make lives better. Its vision is
to eradicate all poverty from the
society, however, Syed Hussain Haider
further explained that poverty should
not be associated with its economic
sense but with anything a person or
family feels to lack, which can also
hold an emotional value. This emotional
bond it forms with its borrowers is the
very reason why they are able to pay up
their debts in the ratio of 99.87% as
compared to the situation faced by the
micro-financing banks whose 30% debts
are never paid up.
The official mission statement of
Akhuwat Foundation presented by Syed
Hussain Haider is:
"To alleviate poverty by empowering
socially and economically marginalized
segments of the society in the process
of harnessing their entrepreneurial
potential by enhancing their capacity
through economic and social guidance."
