Since its launch in 2008, the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) has been a lifeline for many and has turned Benazir Bhutto’s vision into reality. Thanks to the hard work of the BISP team, more than 9.5 million beneficiaries now receive monthly payments through the Benazir Kafaalat and Taleemi Wazifa for Children program.
To improve the process and increase the transparency, BISP is expanding its payment distribution to include six more banks, including JazzCash.
