In many towns across Punjab, skills go unused simply because there’s no platform for them. Ayesha Bibi had the basics down. She understood how people search online, what makes content rank, and how small businesses could be found. What she didn’t have was a way to turn that into paid work. Under the vision of CM Punjab, Maryam Nawaz, PSDF | Mein Digital program enabled her to get training in SEO and digital marketing skills. Now she works remotely on SEO projects for local and overseas clients, manages her own schedule, and earns consistently from home. @MaryamNSharif @GovtofPunjabPK @PSDF_official #MaryamNawaz #MeinDigital #DigitalMarketing #Freelancing #SkilledPunjab #PSDF

Home is not a place — it’s a mother’s love. Happy Mother’s Day. #mothersday #motherhood #motherslove
