SOCIETY FORWELFAREOF CHILDREN

This year consumed huge amount of work, research and dedication. Still, implementation would not have been possible if we did not have a support of many individuals and organizations. Therefore we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all of them.

First of all we are thankful to all our donors for their nancial and logistical support and for providing necessary guidance concerning projects implementation.

We are also grateful to all our council members, doctors, therapists and vendors for provision of expertise, and technical support in the implementation. Without their superior knowledge and experience, the year would lack in quality of outcomes, and thus their support has been essential.

We would like to express our sincere thanks towards our volunteers, researchers who devoted their time and knowledge in the implementation of all our initiatives.

Nevertheless, we express our gratitude toward our families and colleagues for their kind co-operation and encouragement, which help us in completion of this successful year.

Acknowledge

Conclusion :

The primary goal of our society is to identify action initiatives that make up the Action Agenda for a New Millennium in order to foster our resolve of eradication and prevention of disability from the community all across different economical strata.

Last nancial year similar to the past seventeen years was evident from our actions of conducting and organizing several camps, seminars, and awareness programs along with aids and appliances distribution to the special need person. The number of beneciaries from our service both at our Vocational center and child development center has seen a consistent growth and we are very satised with the impact that we have been able to make to the community at large like every year.

This nancial year will be a much more impactful year from the condence and support we have gained from various quarters which will enable us to spread our wings and enable us to expand beyond the locality both in terms of services and reach by introducing the following projects:

1. 270 bedded research, development and training based mother and child hospital rst time in this part of the world devoted towards our resolve.

2. Impact awareness generation through different media and especially using the latest digital and social media campaigns.

3. Organizing theme based expositions and events to enhance our reach

4. Organizing weekly camps at every grass root level.

Every individual involved with our organization pledges to work relentlessly to enhance our performance and solicit your support:
