WB Brings Freedom and Comfort to Rehmat Karim and Sahil in Chitral

In the remote mountain villages of Chitral, Northern Pakistan, life comes with tough daily challenges. Without proper roads or smooth paths, just getting out of bed or moving from one room to another can feel like an impossible task. For Rehmat Karim, an elderly man who suffered a stroke six years ago and has been paralysed since, and Sahil, a young man who suffered a serious accident during a landslide, injuring his legs and back, these daily struggles kept them confined indoors and dependent on others for almost everything.

Everything changed when customised wheelchairs were brought right to their homes. For Rehmat Karim, having a wheelchair means he can finally move around easily, sit outside with his family, and go to the washroom without hassle. For Sahil, it brought back a sense of freedom, allowing him to move around on his own again while recovering. It is not just about mobility, it has brought comfort, independence, and a huge sense of relief to both families.
