NOWPDP provides access to
Persons with disabilities need assistive devices to function on a daily basis and this is their fundamental right. For them, accessibility is imperative to increase their participation across social, economic and political life.
The impact of the lack of accessibility that persons with disabilities face, from roads and housing, to public buildings and spaces and vital urban services such as sanitation, education and transportation is massive.
Moreover, different disabilities need different assistive devices that are usually not readily available or are very expensive for most of the community.
NOWPDP Provides Access to Assistive Devices
Over the last decade, NOWPDP has been a relentless force in championing the rights of persons with disabilities, standing up for their equal access to opportunities to function and contribute as an integral part of society.
NOWPDP provides access to different assistive devices like wheelchairs which are distributed across Pakistan along with different partners.

With the COVID-19 pandemic gripping the globe, Pakistan and in particular persons with disabilities suffered adversely with many losing their livelihoods and being set back in a society they already are lagging behind in.
There is hardly a way to go forward and acquire opportunities if there is no food on the table in a house.
NOWPDP Conducts Ration Drives for Persons with Disabilities
NOWPDP provides food rations to persons with disabilities and their families who are in dire need to survive and sustain themselves. This is the fundamental step after which all progress can ensue.
The United Nations Resolution passed in 2011 declared potable water and sanitation as the two basic human rights. However, the situation of Sindh is not ideal when it comes to the fresh drinking water supply. Many districts of Sindh are suffering from dire conditions concerning safe drinking water.
Moreover, unmanaged and inappropriate sanitation services have been one of the significant issues at hand for the lower tier of the district population, stirring up a hornets’ nest of lethal diseases. The situation has been even worse for persons with disabilities.

Sana Nasir | NOWPDP BeneficiaryBeing a person with disability has always come in the way of whatever I tried to achieve; from pursuing studies to taking training and getting a job. Having a physical disability really limited my options because of the obvious problem – mobility. I finally stumbled upon NOWPDP which exclusively worked for persons with disabilities. At last, I started my training here because they addressed my problem of mobility and provided me with a wheelchair that made my commute easy. I have not only been able to build upon my skills, but I also feel at ease now in terms of getting my household chores done.
