Hunar — Vocational Training & Skills Development
Globally, persons with disabilities are excluded from educational opportunities, as only 10% can attend school, and only 5% complete primary school. In Pakistan, the situation can be much dire. As a result, a vast majority remain excluded from the benefits associated with education, such as better jobs, social and economic security, and opportunities for full participation in society.
Considering this, skills development or vocational training is a viable option that can supplement and boost persons with disabilities in the economic arena.

A journey of impact
Skills that restore possibility
“I was twenty four and going about my day when some boy came and threw acid on my face. It burnt my skin off, distorted my face and the acid made me go blind. I was traumatized and never thought that the pain would end... I found out about NOWPDP providing training program for persons with disabilities. I enrolled in the JAWS training program and became a skilled computer operator. Now I am a motivational speaker and Brand Ambassador for the Depilex Smile Again Foundation.”
