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.

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