Mobility as a Fundamental Right
Speaking on the occasion, Mr Abid Lashari said that access to mobility is a fundamental right and a key element of empowering persons with disabilities. He emphasized that tri-motor bikes enable beneficiaries to travel independently, access education, employment, healthcare, and participate actively in social and community life with dignity. “Completing the legal registration process ensures that beneficiaries can safely and lawfully use their tri-motor bikes, promoting long-term independence and inclusion,” he added.
Gratitude to Government and Partners
Mr Abid Lashari expressed his sincere gratitude to the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (DEPD), Government of Sindh, for its continued support in providing assistive devices and promoting disability inclusion across the province. He reaffirmed NDF Pakistan’s commitment to working with government departments, development partners, and the private sector to expand access to assistive devices and rehabilitation services, ensuring that more persons with disabilities can live independent, productive, and dignified lives.
The event highlighted the importance of partnership between civil society and government in addressing the needs of disabled individuals. NDF Pakistan continues to advocate for policies that remove barriers and create opportunities for persons with disabilities to thrive in all aspects of life.
