Why Nashonuma Matters

Benazir Nashonuma fights child stunting by supporting pregnant and breastfeeding women and children under two in low-income families with nutrition and cash.

  • Focuses on the first 1,000 days of life
  • Combines food, health check-ups and a cash stipend
  • Delivered through dedicated Nashonuma centres

Key Benefits

  • Quarterly cash stipend of around PKR 2,500 to 3,000
  • Free specialized nutritious food
  • Regular health and growth monitoring

Good to Know

  • The household must be BISP-registered.
  • Regular check-ups are required to keep the stipend.
  • Services are free at registered centres.

What this scheme actually does

Benazir Nashonuma tackles child stunting in the first 1,000 days. It provides a quarterly cash stipend plus specialised nutritious food and regular health check-ups for pregnant/breastfeeding women and children under two from BISP-eligible households. Cash amounts are set by BISP and revised periodically — confirm the current figure at your Nashonuma centre or on the official portal.

Who it is for (and whether you may qualify)

Pregnant or breastfeeding women and children under two in households that are BISP-eligible, registered at a Nashonuma facilitation centre (usually at a government hospital/RHC).

What to prepare

  • Mother’s CNIC and (for a child) the B-Form
  • Pregnancy/health record
  • BISP registration (check CNIC on 8171)

How it works

  • Confirm your household is BISP-registered.
  • Visit your nearest Nashonuma centre and register.
  • Attend the regular check-ups — they are required to keep receiving the stipend.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Missing the required check-ups — the benefit is conditional.
  • Assuming eligibility without BISP registration.

How to verify and avoid scams

This is a free government programme — registration and status checks never require a payment. Never pay an agent to “get you approved,” never share your CNIC PIN or mobile OTP, and ignore fake calls, SMS or websites. Use only the official channel below, and remember approval is subject to the programme’s official criteria — no one can guarantee selection.
