Gosha E Aafiyat (Sheltered Workshop & Sheltered Home)

Gosha-e-Aafiyat will provide a sheltered environment for semi-skilled and skilled adults with special needs to either work and earn under supervision of normal adults and after acquiring required skills move to open job market. Second aspect of this project addresses problems faced by adults with special needs, once they lose their family support. Gosha-e-Aafiyat will provide them with a secure and homely place to live.
