I really appreciate of punjab govt, and especial thanks for CM punjab for this kind approach towards the handicaps.
I perform my duties as an executive director for HEALTH RELIEF ORGANISATION(R) SHEIKHUPURA.
Different social projects runs under the supervision of this NGO for the citizens of skp, No doubt it becomes a renowned organisation just within five years.
31 Dec2014 a new project for Pwd’s started.we delivered lots of items they required. The main focus of our Organisation is to financial support those disable students who can’t afford their studies.
Our NGO understand their problems.
Hopefully,in future every person with disability will get benefit with this scheme.
Allaha will give you and your team best reward inshallaha.
