Sindh Disabled Welfare Association (SDWA) is no 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.

People with disabilities are not patients to be cured in Hospitals. People with disabilities are not children to be kept into homes. People with disabilities are not gods to be worshiped. What they are? They are human as you are. People with disabilities should be treated as equal partner in the Society. SDWA needs the support of Society, Donors agencies, government agencies, to ensure possible efforts for the betterment of privileged segment of society.

We have the potential, but lack of opportunities. We need opportunities at equal basis. We are not beggars but contributors. We want inclusive society, free of all forms of discriminations. Disability, whether mental or physical, does not disable a person, but discrimination, social stigma and poverty does. Our society must accept disability and positive attitudes towards people with disabilities.→
