In a major digital transformation for social welfare in Pakistan, the government has unveiled a new web portal for the Ehsaas Kafalat Program 8171. This step is aimed at simplifying the registration process, enabling millions of low-income families, widows, and orphans to access monthly financial support directly from the government—without the need to visit offices or middlemen.
The Ehsaas Kafalat Program is one of Pakistan’s largest poverty alleviation schemes, offering monthly stipends to deserving women. With this new online system, the process is now easier, faster, and more transparent.
✅ What Is the Ehsaas Kafalat Program?
The Ehsaas Kafalat Program is a government-backed welfare scheme under the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). It provides financial aid of PKR 12,000 to PKR 14,000 every quarter to eligible families, particularly female-led households and vulnerable individuals such as widows, disabled persons, and orphans.
The program is designed to reduce poverty, support daily expenses, and improve the quality of life for people living below the poverty line.
