NOWPDP

17 years ago, we began as a network for #disability inclusion. But the mission demanded more—and so began our Journey of Hope. Watch how NOWPDP is building an inclusive, empowered society for #PWDs 🎥 youtu.be/7Cm1JIfZ6Rs?feature… #DisabilityInclusion #NOWPDP #APartNotApart

A policy on paper does not change a bank branch. People do. NOWPDP supported SBP’s Financial Inclusion Policy 2021, then took it into branches: audits, staff training, inclusive hiring. 10 years in, just the beginning. #PFLW2026 #FinancialInclusion #APartNotApart @StateBank_Pak

Skills gave Raheemullah a new path to employment. Today, he earns a living and supports his family. Kyunke Main Ba-Ikhtiyar Hoon. Help create more pathways to independence. 🔗 nowpdp.org.pk/donate-now #MainBaIkhtiyarHoon #InclusionToIndependence

A rickshaw is not just a vehicle. For a person with a lower limb disability, it is how a livelihood moves. Thanks to @Faysalbankltd, Hassan Ali now drives his own. Inclusion is not charity. It is the chance to earn what you work for. #NOWPDP #ChampionsOfInclusion

Polio has no cure. It has a vaccine. Shahid, who has lived with polio since childhood, now builds wheelchairs at CEDI Korangi. . Since 2019, Pakistan has recorded 370 verified cases. Each was preventable. . Every child. Every campaign. #WorldPolioDay #PolioFreePakistan

Iqra found a training room that speaks her language. Next: a parlour of her own. “At #NOWPDP, I learned with confidence. Soon, I will open my own parlour. Kyunke Main Ba-Ikhtiyar Hoon.” Help the next Iqra build their future nowpdp.org.pk/donate-now #MainBaIkhtiyarHoon

Go Cashless. Go Green. But Is It Inclusive? 4.9–6.3% of #Pakistan’s annual GDP is estimated to be lost due to the economic exclusion of #PWDs. #Accessiblebanking isn’t optional. #Inclusion must be built into every transaction. @StateBank_Pak #FLW26 #BashamoolBankari

She wasn’t too busy for screening. The clinic had no ramp. She wasn’t uninterested. No one signed or explained. Breast cancer doesn’t skip women with disabilities. Inaccessible healthcare does. Every woman deserves screening. No exceptions. #PinkOctober #BreastCancerAwareness

Mental health is not a luxury. It is a #right. Persons with disabilities face stigma & exclusion that most never see. Being heard and treated with dignity is not a favour. It is the minimum. This #MentalHealthDay, our team painted. Because everyone deserves a way to be heard.

Access to #Healthcare is a right, not a favour. In #Lahore, doctors from @kemuofficial & @MayoKEMU learned sign language before examining 40 persons with disabilities at our vision screening camp. #Inclusion is a skill. Every medical school should teach it. #DisabilityInclusion

Skills gave her a salary. Today, Maryam supports her family completely. “My passion became my profession. Kyunke Main Ba-Ikhtiyar Hoon.” Help the next Maryam build their future nowpdp.org.pk/donate-now #MainBaIkhtiyarHoon

Beyond Sight, Towards Inclusion 🦯 Accessibility is a right, not a privilege. This #WhiteCaneSafetyDay, NOWPDP promotes awareness and action towards a #Pakistan where persons with visual impairments are #APartNotApart. #InclusionForAll #BashamoolPakistan

Financial inclusion is not a favour. It is a fundamental economic right. 💙 Thank you @StateBankPak for policies on accessible banking for Persons with Disabilities. As #PFLW2026 nears, let’s turn commitments into action. 🔗 sbp.org.pk/circulars/bc-cpd-… #FinancialInclusion #NOWPDP

Most support ends at the door. @LuckyCementLtd is helping build pathways to independence by establishing CEDI Korangi’s Repair & Maintenance Room, where persons with disabilities gain repair skills to access livelihoods. Thank you for investing in #BashamoolPakistan

Skills gave him a steady career. His art business kept growing too. Meet Anas, one talent, two careers. “NOWPDP gave me the skills. Kyunke Main Ba-Ikhtiyar Hoon.” Help the next Anas build their future nowpdp.org.pk/donate-now #MainBaIkhtiyarHoon

Every learner who finds their voice has a teacher who believed in them first. This #WorldTeachersDay, we celebrate teachers everywhere, and especially the teachers across NOWPDP schools helping every child learn, grow and thrive. Shukriya, Ustaad. 💙 #InclusiveEducation

Skills gave her a place on our team. Today, Khizra is helping others find theirs. "#NOWPDP gave me the opportunity to prove what I could do. Kyunke Main Ba-Ikhtiyar Hoon." Help the next Khizra build their future

A skill opens a door. An opportunity creates choice. The power to earn builds independence. Creating inclusive pathways to skills & employment, so more persons with disabilities can proudly say: 𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐚-𝐈𝐤𝐡𝐭𝐢𝐲𝐚𝐫 𝐇𝐨𝐨𝐧. #MainBaIkhtiyarHoon #NOWPDP #APartNotApart

What is standing between persons with disabilities & higher education in #Pakistan? Aliza Mehfooz, Manager MERL, shares findings from NOWPDP–AKU-IED research. The evidence is clear: identify the barriers, change the systems, & make higher education inclusive. @hecpkofficial
