Dear Sir
Naheed Welfare Foundation (NWF) a registered NGO. Established in 2000. It provides and promotes rehabilitation services to the people with disabilities, particularly in remote villages, city slums and suburbs, where these services are hardly available and least accessible. The means employed would be community oriented, awareness creation, advocacy, networking, training and all such other activities that can be conducive to integration of the disabled / handicapped into the mainstream society. It works to eliminate poverty, financial and moral help to destitute, divorced and the poorest female folk of the society.
NWF has 15 beds residential rehabilitation center facility i.e. Rehabilitation Centre for the Physically Disabled. It also works as a national Resource Base. The center is open for admission to all persons with physical disabilities on nominal admission charges. Mostly we deal in Polio, CP, club foot, Muscular Dystrophy, Arthritis, Paraplegics, Hemiplegics Amputees, Back or Neck Problems and Bedsores etc. The poor and needy patients are not charged for their treatment. Free rehabilitation services is given to all disabled. We donate mobility services just like wheelchair tricycle, stool chairs, Corner chairs, walkers, standing frames, crutches, calipers, splints, school books, school uniform, school fee and others relevant items.
To run the organization effectively it depends on membership fee, local donation and patients’ nominal charge which does not cover the entire demand and expenses of the organization. We would like to request you for financial assistance/ informission in the best interest of the poor disabled which can help us in running the activities satisfactorily, smoothly and full heartedly.
You’re sincerely
