"I had resigned myself to a life of dependency, never imagining I could become self-sufficient. Everything changed with the intervention of the Alamdar Peace and Welfare Foundation (APWF). Alongside my treatment, their doctors encouraged me to seek financial independence by explaining various government programs for the welfare of persons with disabilities (PwD). With the support of APWF and the government, I was able to establish a tailoring shop, and I now earn a living with dignity. I owe my newfound independence and identity to APWF for their unwavering support and guidance.."
