Introduction
Dr. Abdul Tawwab Khan and Mrs. Perveen Tawwab started their life long volunteer work for special children after they saw the mother of a child with Downs Syndrome break down and cry. What started as a pledge to support a girl with special needs and her family, has grown into an NGO serving thousands of families and their special children. Dr. and Mrs. Abdul Tawwab Khan represent a progressive and visionary struggle for empowerment of persons with special needs. They have illuminated the lives of thousands of persons with special needs and their families across Pakistan over since 1984.
Having started as a school for special children, Rising Sun Education and Welfare Society has grown into an organization offering diverse services covering the entire life span of people with special needs. Through various projects it provides early intervention services for children from birth to pre-school age, structured teaching, training and therapeutic services to school age children with special needs and vocational training to adolescents and adults with special needs. Those unable to gain employment in open market, are also provided with sheltered employment opportunities. The Gosha-e-Afiyat (Sheltered Home & Sheltered workshop) project is providing a safe living facility to people with special needs who lose family support. The Rising Sun is also running a community-based rehabilitation program to reach out to the population with special needs.
Our Objectives:
- “Orientation and capacity building of regular school teachers about special needs and inclusive education so that increasing number of special children are given education along with their peers in their own environment.”
- To create community awareness about needs of Inclusive Education for CWDs (Children with Disabilities) and highlight our role towards community & to prepare literature for the parents of CWDs and to train them to look after their children.
- To provide medical, psycho-educational, speech & language assessment and therapy services to CWDs enrolled at Rising Sun Institute or referred by different specialists and professionals.
- Human Resource Development for teaching and training of Rising Sun and other similar institutions.
