Abstract
Micro Credit Program is basically a kind of institutionalized efforts, of lending small amount of loan to individuals for self employment, which was initially introduced to combat mass poverty. The program got popularity as it encompasses a detailed package of social mobilization, therefore, in most cases, ends up with almost cent percent recovery rate and without compromising the self esteem of recipient communities. Many Non Governmental Organizations NGOs duplicates it among their targeted population while increasing monthly household’s income within the context of addressing mass poverty. Taraqee Foundation TF, a provincial NGO has undertaken a micro-credit project to loan poor individual families, indeed, through household women, to primarily address mass poverty, while empowering womenfolk in particular and slum dwellers of Quetta District in general. The study explains how effective the project has been, despite of its gloomy ending as a result of political uncertainty, to the recipient communities
