Abstract
This study aims to find out the correlation among
microfinance, education, and basic health in the weavers’
clusters of District Charsadda. As several banks financed the
enterprises located in the cluster from time to time but less
was known regarding the social-economic change that
occurred as a result of the financing in the area. Thus the
rationale behind the undertaken study was to understand how
the financing helped bring change in their lives and improve
their livelihood. The data were collected from the micro level
enterprises so as to assess the impact of microfinance on
those enterprises located in District Charsadda of KPK
province. Some fifty multi-facet personally administered
questionnaires were distributed with specific quantitative
data questions out of which only twenty-two were returned
filled and the rest of them were discarded due to no show by
the entrepreneurs or then irregular filling by them. The study
suggested that a positive linear correlation between Poverty,
Education, and Basic Health. Regression analysis identified
a significant degree of change that Poverty initiated in
Education and Basic Health subsequently. The study proved
to be worth replicated in other clusters nationwide and an
eye-opening situation for the microlending practitioners and
functionaries.
