Background information:
Disabled Welfare Society (DWS) is a non-profit, non
political, and non-governmental voluntary OPD
organization established in 2004 by a group of
dedicated individuals, under the leadership of Morjina
Ahmed, a visually impaired woman. Since its
foundation, DWS has been at the forefront of
promoting equal rights, participation, and inclusion
for people with disabilities, particularly in the context
of national development. The organization’s primary
goal is to break down the barriers that prevent
persons with disabilities from fully participating in
society, whether these barriers are social,
educational, economic, or cultural. Persons with
disabilities (PWDs), especially those who are visually
impaired, are often the most disadvantaged members
of society. They face significant challenges in
accessing education, employment, healthcare, and
basic needs like sanitation and recreational activities.
Many visually impaired individuals come from poor
families and are deprived of the resources necessary
to pursue education, such as Braille books,
specialized equipment, or even basic educational
support. Due to these difficulties, only a small
percentage of visually impaired persons manage to
continue their education, often with great personal
and financial struggle.
Recognizing the immense gap in opportunities,
DWS aims to provide critical support to these
individuals, empowering them with the skills and
education needed to overcome their hardships.
Through advocacy, training programs, and public
awareness campaigns, DWS works tirelessly to
address the systemic discrimination and social
isolation faced by people with disabilities. By
collaborating with local donors, philanthropists,
and other stakeholders, DWS continues to work
toward creating an inclusive society where people
with disabilities, particularly the visually impaired,
can live with dignity and participate fully in all
aspects of life
