Dear Supporters,

We are proud to share a major milestone in our journey. We have officially begun manufacturing our own wheelchairs at the Center of Excellence for Disability Inclusion in Korangi, Karachi.

Our Center now houses an indigenous wheelchair manufacturing plant where high quality wheelchairs are assembled in-house using locally sourced parts. Each unit is built for durability, comfort, and adaptability to individual needs.

This initiative strengthens mobility access while advancing economic inclusion. The plant employs persons with disabilities, creating meaningful job opportunities within the community. Persons with disabilities are now directly involved in producing wheelchairs that will support others across Pakistan.

By localizing production, we are increasing efficiency and strengthening quality control while building a more sustainable model for mobility support. At the same time, we are opening new pathways of innovation in assistive device manufacturing. Our work is growing from a distribution effort into a system that creates impact at multiple levels, expanding access to mobility, generating employment and skills, and shaping an ecosystem of inclusion.

Your support makes milestones like this possible. Together, we are strengthening a future where mobility and opportunity are built by and for persons with disabilities.

Your continued support can turn this milestone into a movement, expanding inclusive employment innovation, while delivering mobility to those who need it most.

With love,

Team NOWPDP
