IRADAH Rehabilitation Center

Initiative for Raising Awareness, Development and Assimilation of the Handicapped (IRADAH)

Empowering Persons with Disabilities to Live with Dignity

IRADAH is a community-based nonprofit organization committed to improving the lives of persons with disabilities, children with disabilities, and their families. Since its establishment in 2001, IRADAH has been working to ensure that disability does not lead to isolation, dependency, or exclusion — but becomes a journey toward dignity, independence, and full participation in society.

Founded by the late professor Izhar Hussain Awan (late) — himself a person with disability — IRADAH was built on the belief that the greatest barrier faced by persons with disabilities is not their impairment, but society’s attitude. Our work focuses on replacing sympathy with empathy and charity with empowerment.

Our Vision

An inclusive society where persons with disabilities enjoy equal rights, opportunities, and respect, and live as productive and confident members of their communities.

Our Mission

To promote awareness, provide rehabilitation services, expand educational and livelihood opportunities, and advocate for the rights and social inclusion of persons with disabilities.

What We Do

IRADAH delivers a comprehensive range of services designed to support persons with disabilities at every stage of life:

Physical Rehabilitation

We operate physiotherapy and rehabilitation services to improve mobility, functioning, and quality of life for children and adults with disabilities and their families — particularly those living in remote rural areas with limited access to care.

Education for Deaf Children

Our School for Deaf Children provides inclusive, quality education along with speech therapy, skills development, and confidence-building opportunities to ensure children with hearing impairments can thrive academically and socially

Outreach Camps

Through mobile outreach camps, our teams reach underserved villages to provide assessments, counseling, assistive devices, and referrals — bringing essential rehabilitation services to people’s doorsteps.

Livelihood & Economic Empowerment

We provide vocational training, startup grants, and toolkits to help persons with disabilities become financially independent and self-reliant.

Social Reintegration & Awareness

We conduct awareness campaigns, community sessions, seminars, and media outreach to challenge stigma and promote inclusion.

Advocacy

IRADAH works with government institutions, civil society, and Disabled Persons’ Organizations (DPOs) to promote disability rights, inclusive policies, and accessible public services.

Our work is made possible by the support of donors, volunteers, and partners who believe in inclusion and equal opportunity for all.

Our Impact

Rehabilitation

Thousands of persons, especially children, with disabilities rehabilitated through physiotherapy services.

Education

Children with hearing impairments enrolled in quality education.

Reach

Remote communities reached through regular outreach camps and door to door services.

Business

Persons with disabilities supported to start small businesses.

Family Support

Families trained to better support and include their children.

Why Our Work Matters

In many rural areas, persons with disabilities remain confined to their homes, excluded from education, employment, and social life. Lack of services, awareness, and mobility keeps families trapped in cycles of poverty and isolation.

IRADAH exists to change this reality — by ensuring rehabilitation, education, empowerment, and advocacy happen together, not in isolation.

You can support IRADAH by:

  • Sponsoring a child’s education

  • Funding assistive devices

  • Supporting rehabilitation services

  • Partnering on community programs

  • Making a donation

Together, we can build a society where disability is not a barrier to opportunity.
