Niaz Support Empowers PRSD Students With Custom Wheelchairs
PSRD High School in Lahore is an institution dedicated to providing education and support to differently-abled children. For many years, this school struggled to provide its students with the necessary resources, particularly when it came to mobility aids like wheelchairs. In the past, the lack of wheelchairs had been a major issue; even when they were available, there was only one wheelchair for every 100 students. This shortage severely limited the mobility of students who needed them, making it difficult for them to engage fully in school activities.
However, a significant change occurred recently when Niaz Support, a social enterprise, stepped in to assist the school. Two weeks ago, Niaz Support provided PSRD High School with 30 customised, high-quality wheelchairs, addressing a critical need for the institution. This generous contribution has transformed the lives of many students at the school, making their daily routines much easier and bringing them a new level of independence.
The students, as well as the school’s staff, are deeply grateful for the support they have received. The principal of PSRD High School expressed his heartfelt thanks to Niaz Support, emphasizing how much this contribution means to both the children and the institution. He shared how the new wheelchairs have brought immense happiness and relief to the students, allowing them to move around the school more freely and participate fully in their education. He also highlighted the importance of providing high-quality wheelchairs that are tailored to the specific needs of each child. For differently-abled individuals, especially children, it is crucial to have a wheelchair that fits their body size perfectly. An ill-fitting wheelchair can cause discomfort and negatively impact their posture and physical health. The wheelchairs provided by Niaz Support have been carefully selected to meet these needs, ensuring that the children can use them comfortably and safely.
Among the many beneficiaries of this initiative is Abeeha Zainab, a young student in class 1. Abeeha, like many of her peers, has been living with her disability since birth. Before receiving her new wheelchair, she faced considerable challenges in attending school and participating in daily activities. However, this recent gift from Niaz Support has significantly improved her quality of life. Abeeha now moves around the school with ease, and her newfound mobility has brought her immense happiness. The wheelchair has not only made it easier for her to attend school but has also boosted her confidence and sense of independence. Seeing Abeeha’s joy and the positive impact the wheelchair has had on her life is a testament to how important and life-changing these donations can be.
The contribution of 30 wheelchairs to PSRD High School by Niaz Support has had a profound impact on the lives of its students. This act of generosity has not only provided essential mobility aids but has also empowered children like Abeeha to experience life more fully, with greater independence and confidence. The school is deeply thankful for this support, and the gratitude of both the students and the staff reflects the meaningful difference that a single, thoughtful action can make.
