The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) offers crucial support to low-income families in Pakistan, particularly through the Benazir Taleemi Wazaif initiative, commonly referred to as “Bacho Ka Wazifa.” This program provides financial assistance to ensure children from underprivileged backgrounds receive proper education.

The Benazir Taleemi Wazaif provides monthly stipends to children of low-income families. For girls, the payment is Rs 4500, and for boys, it’s Rs 4000. These amounts are expected to increase in future payments, with additional hikes planned for 2025.
