Lahore Businessmen Association for Rehabilitation of Disabled (LABARD) and Faysal Bank on Tuesday joined hands to serve the special people in a better way. Faysal Bank has also donated a modern vehicle to the Association for easy movement of the special children getting education and training under the umbrella of LABARD.
Federal Commerce Minister and LABARD President Pervez Malik, President Faysal Bank Yousaf Hussain, LABARD Secretary General Muhammad Saeed Khan and Bushra Aitzaz Ahsan spoke on the occasion and appreciated the gesture of Faysal Bank's management.
Expressing his views, Faysal Bank President Yousaf Hussain said, "We recognize that we cannot have a healthy and growing business unless the communities we serve are healthy and sustainable. We are committed to improving the quality of life in the communities where we do business and have realigned our community investment priorities to be reflective of and responsive to the global and local nature of our business. We are committed towards LABARD's initiative and will work hands-on with the management to complete this project."
Pervez Malik said the LABARD is focusing to further extend the scope of its services. He said that presently the LABARD is not only establishing camps in various parts of the city for the registration of disabled persons but is also focusing on building the confidence of the people who are suffering due to some disability so that they could be able to face all challenges boldly.
LABARD Secretary General Muhammad Saeed Khan said that the government should patronize all LABARD-like institutions so that the stigma of disability could be removed from the face of Pakistani society. It is religious and moral duty of the whole private sector to ensure jobs to the disabled persons so that they could enjoy the status equal to other members of the society, he added.
