A message from our founder

Dr Riaz Ahmed Sheikh (Late)

Founder, NID — PhD Special Education

On the occasion of the 36th anniversary of the National Institute for the Deaf Children, it is my privilege to draw the attention of all goodwilled individuals, philanthropists, educators and human-spirited people towards the serious problems faced by underprivileged hearing-impaired children. These children, who have no future careers before them, need your support to become self-reliant members of society.

If you keep these children in your highest consideration and put your hand of affection over their heads, you will be rewarded and blessed. May God Almighty grant you strength and courage to come forward for the help of these deprived, hearing-impaired children in Pakistan.
