Mr. Rehmat Ali Hasnie, President National Bank of Pakistan (NBP), recently made a visit to the Head Office of the Network of Organizations Working for People with Disabilities, Pakistan (NOWPDP). During his visit, he presented the organization with a donation of PKR 5 million to support a wide range of services and training initiatives.

This contribution reflects NBP’s commitment to NOWPDP’s noble mission of fostering an inclusive society and empowering individuals with disabilities (PWDs). NOWPDP, which was founded in 2008, has a multi-faceted approach to advancing disability inclusion. Their focus areas encompass identity recognition, welfare support, educational advancement, skill development, and economic empowerment for PWDs. Among their extensive services are Certification Audits, employee sensitization programs, assistance with account opening, and comprehensive financial literacy training, all of which collectively contribute to the holistic development of individuals with disabilities.

The visit by the President of NBP to the Center of Excellence for Financial Inclusion (CEFI) marks a significant stride towards raising awareness about the unique challenges and opportunities faced by disabled individuals. Interacting with disabled students across various classes underscores a genuine commitment to understanding their needs and fostering their growth.

NOWPDP’s vision of promoting equal access to opportunities and the seamless integration of PWDs into society resonates with the core principles of National Bank of Pakistan, which prioritizes inclusivity and social equity. These contributions play an important role in the ongoing effort to create a more inclusive and equitable society for all, a cause that the bank steadfastly upholds.
