Disability inclusion
NOWPDP
CENTER OF EXCELLENCE FOR DISABILITY INCLUSION (CEDI)
Pakistan has an estimated 15 million differently abled citizens many of whom are excluded from education, employment, and social participation. CEDI represents OGDC's commitment to changing that reality: not through charity, but through structured, sustainable pathways to dignity and economic independence.
OGDC and NOWPDP have joined hands to establish a pioneering facility at Hyderabad, Sindh and Kohat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa dedicated to empowering differently abled persons providing education, skills, and pathways to economic independence across two cities in Pakistan.
Through CEDI, OGDC is building more than a center - we are building a culture of inclusion, where every individual, regardless of ability, has the opportunity to contribute, grow, and thrive.
