History of Akhuwat:
In 2001 the idea of Akhuwat was presented before a group of friends at the Lahore
Gymkhana. During the conversation, charging of exorbitant interest rates on microfinance
programs aimed at poverty alleviation was being criticized. The idea of initiating an interest
free successful microfinance program was brought forth as a challenge and at that point, no
one present foresaw the shape this experiment would eventually take. One of the friends
pledged a donation of ten thousand rupees, while another friend, Dr. Amjad Saqib, took it
upon himself to utilize that donation as an interest free loan.
The first loan of ten thousand rupees was given to a widow who was striving to earn a
decent living through honorable means. She was neither a beggar nor was she looking for
charity; she was only seeking a helping hand. By utilizing and returning that loan within a
period of six months, she reinforced the belief in the integrity exhibited by the poor when
they are helped with trust and respect. The success of the first loan brought in more donations
and the group of friends became convinced of the viability of their venture into interest free
microfinance. Herein Akhuwat was born, with these friends forming the first Board of
Governors and Dr. Amjad Saqib serving as the first Executive Director. This marked the

10. beginning of a new chapter in microfinance, one that found its inspiration not in economic
logic but in the spirit of compassion and generosity of mankind.
Akhuwat derives its name from ‘muakhaat’ or brotherhood, the earliest example
of which was seen in the fraternity formed by the Ansars (citizens of Medina) and the
Muhajireen (or Mecca’s) who had migrated to Medina to escape religious persecution.
Inspired by the spirit which induced the Medinites to share half of their wealth with the
migrants, Akhuwat seeks to invoke this very concept of brotherhood through its
operations. For Akhuwat, the metaphor of brotherhood entails the creation of a system
based on mutual support in society. To this end microfinance is only one of the tools,
albeit a powerful one, being employed by Akhuwat.
3. Form of Service:
Akhuwat is nonprofit organization and it is providing interest free micro financing.

17. Basic Concept OfHuman Resource Management:
HRM
Each organization works towards the realization of one vision. The same is achieved by
formulation of certain strategies and execution of the same, which is done by the HR department.
In Akhuwat the basis objective of the HR Department is to facilitate all the employees working
in different departments by listening to their grievances and by helping them in their career
planning.
 Recruitment: It aims at attracting applicants that match a certain Job criteria.
 Selection: The next level of filtration. Aims at short listing candidates who are the
nearest match in terms qualifications, expertise and potential for a certain job.
 Hiring: Deciding upon the final candidate who gets the job.
 Training and Development: Those processes that work on an employee onboard for
his skills and abilities up gradation.
Human resource management is important for all the managers because:
They don’t want to hire a wrong person for the wrong job.
Experience high turnover.
Wastage of time with useless interviews.
In Akhuwat every function of human resource management plays vital role in the organizing but
the most vital one is staffing because rest of all depend in it.At the base of this strategy
formulation lie various processes and the effectiveness of the former lies in the meticulous

correspondence of each of these. This means that each process is subservient to other. You start
from Human resource Planning and there is a continual value addition at each step. To
exemplify, the PMS (performance Management System) of an organization like Infosys would
different from an organization like Wal-Mart. Let’s study each process separately.
