“Voir Salon’s journey is a testament to the transformation of dreams into reality, where employment becomes empowerment, and success is measured in the lives changed.”
Voir Salon, a visionary project initiated by Pastor Nabeel Riaz, was born with a powerful mission — to breathe life into the Business Development Initiative. Its noble purpose extends beyond creating jobs for Christian youth hailing from marginalized and underprivileged backgrounds. It's a tale of transformation, where approximately 10 young individuals were not just employed but empowered with invaluable skills. Today, some have moved on to even more promising opportunities, while others continue to flourish, making it a remarkable success story.Impact Stories

“From a salon helper to a prominent MUA; I witnessed God’s glory”
My journey with Cornerstone Church has been a profound transformation. Through the wisdom and guidance of CCD and Pastor Nabeel Riaz, I realized we are called to be the head and not the tail. I embraced disciplines like tithing and unwavering hard work, weaving my personal values into the tapestry of God's Word. From a meager Rs. 500, I now thrive as a successful entrepreneur, witnessing God's promises bloom. I've built my own home and, as a minority woman in Pakistan's demanding society, left an indelible mark in my field, steadfastly held by God's guiding hand. Today, I stand as a professional makeup artist and stylist, working with celebrities, a testament to God's incredible blessings.

Born into a low-income family with humble beginnings, I once wandered without a clear path. But through my journey with Cornerstone Church, Pastor Nabeel Riaz's enlightening awareness sessions, unwavering encouragement, and support, I found my purpose. I ventured to set up my own small business, acquiring a printing machine and establishing a successful enterprise. Today, I stand as a self-financed entrepreneur, providing for my family and demonstrating the incredible transformation that faith and determination can bring.
