We are very proud to share that - with your help - we have expanded from Karachi to Islamabad - in our distribution of wheelchairs. 100 wheelchairs have just been given to National Institute of Rehabilitation Sciences (NIRMS) arms of Pakistan Institute of Management (PIMS).
The Honourable First Lady of Pakistan, Begum President Samina Alvi, presided the distribution of wheelchairs to individuals and the institute itself, particularly to and for those who have permanent spinal cord injury.
The women found it life-changing to be given mobility. The institute itself was also grateful as there existing wheelchairs had been given in 2005 and were in dismal condition.
The women were also spoken to about the potential of getting loans to start their own business in hope of getting livelihood.
This would not have been possible without your help. We are well on our way to distributing 10,000 wheelchairs, thanks to your generosity and support. Thank you!
