"The Pocket Money Mission: Young Boys Earning Big Dreams"

In the small town of Dir, nestled among the mountains of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, lived three best friends: Bilal, Hamza, and Yasir. All around 13 years old, the boys were full of energy, curiosity, and dreams bigger than their pockets.

One sunny afternoon after school, the three friends sat on a low wall outside Bilal’s house, watching some older kids zoom by on brand-new bicycles. Bilal sighed deeply.

"I wish I had a bike like that," he said.

Hamza nodded. "Same here. But with what money?"

Yasir, always the thinker, leaned forward. “Why don’t we earn it ourselves?”

Bilal raised an eyebrow. “We’re just kids. Who’s going to give us a job?”

Yasir grinned. “Who said we need a job? Let’s make one.”

That was the spark. The idea that started The Pocket Money Mission.

The First Attempt: Selling What They Know

The next weekend, the boys gathered in Bilal’s backyard with old notebooks, pens, and scraps of cardboard. They decided to start small—offering tutoring to younger kids in the neighborhood for a small fee.

Hamza was great at math, Yasir was a science whiz, and Bilal had a way with English and Urdu. They made little flyers and handed them to neighbors, uncles, and aunties.

At first, no one took them seriously.

“Beta, just go play cricket,” one uncle chuckled. “What can you teach?”

But the boys didn’t give up. They offered the first few lessons for free. Word began to spread. Soon, two kids came. Then five. In two weeks, they were tutoring ten students and earning enough to buy snacks, save up, and even give a small portion to their parents.

Bigger Ideas, Bigger Goals

With confidence growing, the trio sat down to plan their next move.

“What do kids like?” Bilal asked.

“Games,” Hamza replied. “And snacks.”

Yasir had another idea. “Let’s make Eid cards and sell them!”

They gathered supplies—colored paper, markers, glitter, and glue—and got to work. Their cards were bright, handmade, and full of heart. They sold them at school, to neighbors, and even to a local shopkeeper who agreed to display them.

By Eid, they had made over 3,000 rupees.

They called their little group YHB Creations—using the first letter of each of their names.

Lessons Learned Along the Way

But not everything went smoothly.

One time, they tried buying and reselling candies from a wholesale shop. They didn’t check the expiration dates, and a few kids got stomach aches. The parents were angry, and the boys had to apologize and refund the money.

“It was a mistake,” Hamza said sadly.

Yasir added, “But a mistake we can learn from.”

So they promised never to sell anything without checking quality again.

Another time, they had an argument about how to split the money. Bilal wanted to keep more because he did the design work. Yasir wanted to save everything. Hamza thought they should invest in new supplies.

After a long discussion, they agreed to always vote and be fair. They even wrote down their plan in a notebook and called it their "Money Rules."

A Small Spark Turns Into a Flame

Over the next few months, their ideas kept growing. They created a YouTube channel where they shared simple DIY crafts and study tips. With Bilal’s writing, Yasir’s teaching, and Hamza’s filming skills, their channel began getting views from people outside their town.

One day, they received their first offer from a small business in Peshawar to promote their products in a video—for 5,000 rupees.

The boys couldn’t believe it.

They had started with nothing but a wish for new bikes. Now, they were building a brand, helping others, and learning more than school ever taught them about business, communication, and teamwork.

Dreams that Keep Growing

By the end of the year, each boy had saved enough to buy a used bicycle. But something had changed—they weren’t just thinking about bikes anymore.

“I want to open a learning center someday,” Yasir said.

“I want to be a filmmaker,” Hamza smiled.

Bilal looked at the notebook that held their Money Rules, earnings, and business plans. “I want to write a book about all this one day.”

Their mission was no longer just about pocket money. It was about proving that age doesn’t limit dreams. That with ideas, hard work, and a little courage, even young boys from a small town can build something great.

The Pocket Money Mission Lives On

Today, YHB Creations is not just a group of boys trying to earn extra cash. It’s a symbol of what’s possible when young minds are allowed to dream—and work toward those dreams. Their story inspires other kids in their school to try new things, to take initiative, and to believe that even the smallest step can lead to big things.

And it all started with one wish… for a bicycle.
