Ration to 200 Children with Disabilities

NOWPDP recognizes that due to the historical and systematic exclusion of persons with disabilities (PWDs) from society, PWDs form one of the most vulnerable segments of society as they are unable to access the basic resources necessary for survival (e.g., food, water, and mobility devices).

In the past three months, we have distributed rations to children with disabilities in the outskirts of Islamabad who were in desperate need of our intervention. The rations were handed over to the adult family members of five PWDs, amongst whom there were 3 with a physical disability, 1 with a hearing and speech disability, and 1 with an intellectual disability.

The distribution was carried out on 2^nd November in UC Pind Begwal of Barakahu located in the peripheries of Islamabad. As the UC is quite far from city jurisdiction, the socioeconomic conditions of the UC were quite distressing. Pind Begwal has fewer schools and inadequate access to healthcare services with organizations such as Saving9 working towards bridging the gap. The disparities were even more pronounced for the PWDs residing in the area since they form an even more marginalized segment of society.

Your donations allow us to offer basic sustenance to those who need it most. By alleviating their immediate concerns of survival, the rations serve as a symbol of hope for these young individuals for leading better lives. We are grateful for the generous contribution of donors like you who have helped us get closer to reaching our goal of providing rations to 200 children with disabilities.

Your support gives us hope for fostering a more inclusive and compassionate society.
