What is NOWPDP?

NOWPDP is a disability inclusion initiative that works with the educational and economic empowerment of people with disabilities. Thus, the event was held to celebrate the right to livelihood and transport of people with disabilities. With inclusivity as the primary focus, the march was meant to empower people with disabilities and encourage them to pursue their rights to work and mobility.

The Event Kicked Off

The event kicked off with an introduction by Omair Ahmad, the Executive Director of NOWPDP followed by a talk-show-style panel discussion hosted by HSY.

The TukTuk March panelists included renowned names such as Mahira Khan, Wasim Akram, Fahad Mustafa, Maya Ali, and several others. Featuring approximately 10 celebrities, the segment discussed the purpose of the TukTuk March and how it provides more opportunities for people with disabilities. After the segment, the pioneer of retrofitted rikshaws, Imran Ghanchi joined the stage to tell his story and how he developed rikshaws that are accessible for people with disabilities.

The Drive

The discussion led to an introduction of NOWPDP’s trainees who drove in the rikshaws and gave the ‘Friends of NOWPDP’ their rikshaw-themed colored bandannas as tokens of appreciation. After being presented with their bandanas, the superstars were then invited to pledge to a NOWPDP project of choice. This was followed by a tuk-tuk drive around People’s Square Karachi.
