Behbud is a name that stands for the support and strength for the women of Pakistan. It’s a non-profit social enterprise, entirely run by women volunteers.
A process that requires skill, precision and patience which leads to creating a wonderful piece of art🪡♥️
These skills travelled through generations of women, passed from mother to daughter.

Enjoyed first visit to #Rawalpindi & impressed by the work of #Behbud. Since 53 years, this non profit organisation has been working tirelessly for women empowerment. Families are given an income source and are even offered health care services. Thanks for your important work!
Those who work hard will always be redeemed by life. That’s the law of the universe; when you nurture an intention, nothing can stand in your way. Just like me, I know I’ll have a house to call my own one day,”
