Disabled Welfare Society (DWS)

Disabled Welfare Society (DWS) is a non-political and non- government voluntary OPD organization established in 2004 by a group of committed individuals under the leadership of Morjina Ahmed, a visually impaired woman and she is the founder general secretary of the organization. Since then DWS is working to promote equal rights and participation of the disadvantaged and poor people with disabilities in national development activities through capacity building training, advocacy and awareness rising.

Thus DWS was established and it has been running its various types of programs for person with disabilities to promote them in mainstream development process.
