For the project
“Community Based Inclusion of Children with Disabilities in UC Nawabshah-VI, District Shaheed
Benazir Abad”
1. About NDF:
Nawabshah Disability Forum (NDF) is non-profit organization of Pakistan. The main purpose of this
DPO is, to promote of rights of people with disabilities especially living in remote & rural areas in
Pakistan.
People with disabilities are not considered as human being. We have to ensure the dignity of people with
disabilities in the society. We have to promote hidden skills of people with disabilities.
2. Project Background:
Recent years have witnessed emergence of International movements for the empowerment of Persons
with Disabilities through a number of international conventions and agreements, which make Government
of Pakistan a partner in the global movement for the betterment of this segment of society.
The provision of a comprehensive range of facilities for persons with disabilities from pre-natal care
through education, vocational training, employment and support during adult life cannot be a matter for a
single government department or agency. The provision and growth of services of real quality will require
the active co-operation of a large number of relevant organizations at federal, provincial, local and NGO
level, along with involvement of family, professionals and communities at large.
The policy is formulated with a background of information about the number of disabled children and
adults in Pakistan based upon the WHO estimates of 10% of the population and upon more detailed
information provided by Pakistan-based studies including the National Census, 1998. The National
Census Report of 1998 however indicates a low estimate of 2.49% of the total population, based on the
reported cases of persons with disabilities. Grouping of the 2.49% figure into age specific groups
indicates the following estimated maximum level of need:
i)
ii)
iii)
Children under five who require some form of support, as will their families.
10.34%
Children aged 5-14 who require some form of special education
23.09%
Young people up to the age of 29 who will need further education, training and employment
opportunities.
23.98%
iv)
v)
Disabled Adults requiring other welfare support and assistance
The disabled senior citizens requiring more special facilities.
25.15%
16.56%
The distribution of different disabilities within the defined population of disabled persons, as indicated by
the 1998 census, provides a useful guide for planning programmes as under:i)
Physically Handicapped
19%
ii)
Mentally Handicapped & Insane
14%
iii)
Multiple disability
8.21%
iv)
Visually Impaired
8.6%
v)
Hearing Impaired
7.40%
vi)
Others
43.33%1
