Assalamu alaikum

 

In 2010 Ummah Welfare Trust established a rehabilitation centre for disabled people. The centre, situated in Rawalpindi, specifically designed to empower disabled people in Pakistan by providing workshops and teaching skills.

 

Under the pressure of users, the centre grew to the point where UWT realised the scale of the problem was far greater than originally thought. Larger and more functional premises were needed to deal with the needs of disabled people.

 

Ummah Welfare Trust now aims to build the Ummah Centre for Disabled People; a beacon for the disabled community of Pakistan. It will provide unmatched care for 250 people, empowering them with the skills to help them lead independent lives.

 

The Centre will have a library, a science laboratory and an ICT laboratory. Classrooms and curriculums will be tailored to the needs of each resident.

 

A unique aim is to make the centre self-reliant. The vocational wings of the centre will comprise of a carpentry and welding workshop, computer repairs laboratory, stitching and textiles unit and a packing workshop.

 

By teaching the residents of the centre a skill or livelihood, the centre can generate enough revenue to become self-sustaining.

 

The project will cost £1.2 million. This amount includes the capital costs and the costs needed to support all of the residents.

 

So please dig deep and donate.

 

JazakAllahukhairan.
