Disability
Empowering persons with disabilities by creating inclusive opportunities and removing barriers.
We provide wheelchairs, prosthetics, therapy and vocational rehabilitation so people with disabilities can live independent lives.
Disability is a physical or mental condition that limits a person's movement, senses or activities. The 5th Population and Housing Census of 1998 recorded persons with disabilities as 2.38 percent of Pakistan's population. In the 6th Census of 2017 that figure fell below 0.48 percent — a drop that says far more about how people with disabilities are counted than about how many of them there are.
In Pakistan, persons with disabilities remain largely concealed, unheard and uncounted. They are among the most marginalised people in the country, and they face overwhelming barriers in education, in skills development and in ordinary daily life. Most of the services that do exist are designed for children, leaving very little for disabled adults.
Noor-e-Kainat Welfare Trust provides free education, medical facilities and employment support to persons with disabilities. We work with public bodies to bring them into mainstream departments, and we work to open better job opportunities that raise their standard of living — because independence, not charity, is what dignity is built on.
