“I was born with a hearing and speech disability which always made life hard for me. I was sidelined at school and mocked at my inability to hear. As I grew up and the burden of financial stability fell on my shoulders, I knew I needed to do something to earn for my family. I enrolled at the NOWPDP Training Center and learnt Graphic Designing. I am proud to say that now I work at 10Pearls, a leading software company. Thank you to everyone who helped me in my journey to independence.”
Pakistan is home to millions of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) but the opportunities that they are provided with are next to nothing. They are not treated as equal citezins and suffer both at the micro and macro levels due to a lack of facilities, accessible infrastructure, and equal oppurtunities.
We asked for your help in supporting these PWDs so they may have a brighter future than the one they see now, and you delivered. With the assitance of well-wishers like you, we are pleased to say that we have already imparted skills-training to 84 PWDs and facilitated the job placements of 40 PWDs since the start of 2022.
We thank you for your continued support and hope that together, we can make a difference in more lives.
