Lateefan

Intern

From Despair to Dignity

Lateefan, a skilled tailor and mother of three, faced immense hardships after a cardiac illness and amputation left her disabled. Abandoned by her husband and unable to work, she returned to her parents' home in distress. Her livelihood and independence seemed lost—until NOWPDP intervened during a field visit.

The team listened to her story and pledged support. Through Falah, Lateefan received a wheelchair designed specifically for her tailoring needs, restoring her mobility and ability to work. Today, Lateefan earns with dignity and supports her family independently. Her story is a testament to how inclusive support empowers individuals to reclaim their lives and livelihoods.
