Project Introduction: Funded by UKIM, this project was implemented by GEESE in Tehsil Johi, District Dadu, Sindh, Pakistan. The project aimed to provide wheelchairs to people with physical disabilities, particularly in rural areas, to enhance their mobility, independence, and overall quality of life. The project was designed to address the challenges faced by people with physical disabilities in accessing basic necessities, education, and employment opportunities due to lack of mobility. The 2022 floods in Pakistan had a disproportionate impact on vulnerable populations, including people with disabilities, exacerbating their existing challenges. Through this project, GEESE successfully distributed 60 wheelchairs to deserving individuals, promoting their independence, dignity, and participation in community life. The project has yielded significant achievements, including increased mobility, enhanced access to basic needs, and improved livelihood opportunities for people with physical disabilities. Activities: • Conducted rapid needs assessment to identify people with physical disabilities in flood-affected areas of District Dadu. • Identified and prioritized 60 most vulnerable individuals for provision of wheelchairs. • Distributed 60 wheelchairs to people with physical disabilities, enhancing their mobility and independence. • Engaged with local stakeholders, including zakat committees, Bait-ul-maal, and village councils, to ensure effective implementation. • Monitored and evaluated project impact, documenting achievements and challenges.
