About Us
Welcome to Akim
In a country where a significant majority of Pakistanis struggle with unemployment and multidimensional poverty affects 40% of the population, Alkhidmat Islamic Microfinance (AKIM) stands as a beacon of hope. Rooted in Shariah-compliant microfinance, AKIM goes beyond financial inclusion, aiming to uplift our beneficiaries socially, morally, and financially. Through established geographical outreach, cost efficiencies, and a robust volunteer network providing mentorship, AKIM transcends traditional microfinance by establishing sustainable business supply chains that link beneficiaries with our dedicated volunteers. In these challenging times, AKIM remains steadfast in its mission to empower individuals and communities, fostering resilience and sustainable development across Pakistan.
Guiding Principles That Define Us
Core Values
We’re clear on its core ideology and purpose. The AKIM envisions to upgrade people’s lives through promoting an entrepreneurial mindset, providing an ecosystem, and economic empowerment. Guided by core values of Diyanat (Integrity), Amand (Empathy), Iknas (Trustworthiness), and Ehsas (Sincerity) (DAIE), we strive to uplift individuals and communities, promoting positive change and societal well-being.
Our Mission
We’ve established a network of 80 centers globally, a vital presence spanning multiple continents and diverse communities. These centers are meticulously designed to be true hubs of opportunity, providing children with critical resources such as education centers, essential medical offices, enriching libraries, and stimulating playgrounds, along with various other services to ensure their holistic development and well-being.
Our Vision
Our dedication goes beyond just providing services; we insist on proof of effectiveness. That’s why we collaborate with an independent research agency to carefully and continually track and measure progress. This commitment to empirical data ensures that our programs are genuinely improving the lives of our kids and allows us to continually refine our approach for the greatest real impact.
