Abstract
Pakistan being an under developed country is faced with many socio-economic challenges. Among them the issue of poverty ranks at the top. The available statistics confirm an increase in the incidence of poverty in the country in recent years. Furthermore, rural women are the most vulnerable groups to the poverty incidence. They are denied access to productive resources most especially credit. Micro credit is now a proven strategy for the poverty alleviation among poor rural women. In other words, the micro- credit enables the beneficiaries get out of the vicious circle of poverty. The conventional credit programs only provide a limited amount of credit to rural women. The establishment of special credit programs targeting poor rural women is the need of the hour. Both Government and Non Government Organization need to handle this problem.
