Children with disabilities are one of the most marginalized and excluded groups in society. Facing daily discrimination in the form of negative attitudes, lack of adequate policies and legislation, they are effectively barred from realizing their rights to healthcare, education and even survival (www.unicef.og)

According to the United Nations, an estimated 93 million children around the world have disabilities, including emotional, developmental and physical impairments. Eighty percent of those living in developing countries. The cost of caring for a person with a disability is prohibitive to most families and the social stigma involved with having a child with special needs can be very stressful. To the sad extent that many families go as far as hiding their disabled child away from the community in order to be socially accepted.

iQra International recognizes that with so many children suffering from some form of disability, this has clearly become a global issue. In line with our mission, iQra International have taken responsibility to provide free medical treatment to poor disabled children in developing countries around the world. Having set up two medical facilities in Asia (Bangladesh), including a Dedicated Disabled Children's Hospital.

Your crucial support will help us complete the next phase of our project and enable more disabled children to support with wheelchair/walking frame as well as receive free treatment in several Disabled Centers in parts of Asia and Africa.
