Overview

People with disabilities are among the most marginalized groups in the world. People with disabilities have poorer health outcomes, lower education achievements, less economic participation and higher rates of poverty than people without disabilities.

Many poor disabled people in our community having disabilities like organs disability, by-birth defects, poliomyelitis, paralysis due to stroke, spin injuries, road traffic accidents, disability due to any accident, disability due to natural disaster, etc., are referred to TARS Foundation regularly for financial assistance for their several needs. Many of such disabled people need financial assistance for running their monthly house and living expenses because they are poor, jobless and having no other means of income; whereas other disabled people need assistive devices including mobility aids, such as wheelchairs, toilet chairs, special-person-bikes, walkers, prosthetic devices, orthotic devices and hearing aids etc.

Disabled People Support

Under this program, TARS Foundation provides monthly financial assistance to disabled individuals — either supporting them directly or, where the person is the sole breadwinner, supporting their entire family.

To date, the foundation has assisted many disabled persons and continues to extend help to more individuals in need. Our support includes monthly living expenses, food, education, and medical needs, as well as providing assistive devices to help improve mobility and independence.

In addition to monthly cash assistance, TARS Foundation also distributes Monthly Ration Packages to disabled families to ensure they have sufficient food supplies at home.

Furthermore, clothing distributions are held on various occasions, including Eid, and warm clothes are provided during the winter season to help them stay comfortable and protected.

Successful Story of a Disabled Homeless Man

During our Lunchbox Distribution Activity in 2016 across various roads of Peshawar, we came across a homeless, handicapped man named Muhammad Alam, living under a bridge. He appeared to be disabled since birth, with both hands and legs paralyzed, and speech impairment as well. TARS Foundation immediately moved him to our Food Store in Gulbahar, Peshawar, where we provided him with temporary shelter and began caring for him with the help of our dedicated staff. Muhammad Alam stayed under our care for about 10 months, during which he was provided with food, clothing, and medical attention. Later, with coordinated efforts, we contacted the Edhi Shelter Home in Islamabad and successfully transferred him there for long-term care and support.

Below are a few videos of Muhammad Alam, showing how we found him, how we cared for him at our Food Store, and finally, how he was shifted to the Edhi Shelter Home in Islamabad.
