Pakistani development officer Muhammad Amjad Saqib, 64, got the “first-of-a-kind” Ramon Magsaysay Award 2021, a programme that has assisted millions of disadvantaged households, free of interest and collateral financing.
Dr. Saqib is a social contractor, a government official, and a writer from Pakistan. The 64-year-old was awarded the Nobel Prize for Asia too.
It is stated that his NGO has distributed more than PKR 128 Billion to over 3 million families in all of Pakistan for more than 4.5 million interest-free loans in order to help its recipients become society participants in socially and financially.
Saqib has been recognised for his “inspiring belief in the goodness of men and unity as measures to eliminate poverty,” which uses places of worship to distribute money.
The Ramón Magsay Award is named after the Philippine President who died in an air crash in 1957, and was established in 1957 to honour people and groups who were dealing with development issues.
The Philippines is believed to have introduced a climate of good democracy and null corruption into a golden age.
