Mahnoor – Determination and a Father’s Support

Before joining the SMG program, Mahnoor often became upset over small things, felt overwhelmed by other people’s words and struggled to manage her emotions. She would frequently become distressed and cry, finding it hard to stay calm in challenging situations. Despite living in another village and facing transportation difficulties, she was determined to attend, and her father brought her to the WELSA Center every day so she would not miss a session. Over the seven-week program she learned about health and wellness, budgeting and entrepreneurship, and healthy relationships. These sessions helped her develop a more positive outlook and a better understanding of how to manage her emotions. Gradually she began to feel calmer, respond to situations more positively and approach everyday challenges with greater confidence. For Mahnoor the program became more than a learning experience; it was a journey of personal growth that helped her recognize her own strength and potential. She expresses heartfelt gratitude to the SMG program, especially Ma’am Shagufta, for supporting her journey toward becoming a more positive and emotionally resilient person.
