Pakistan has long been vulnerable to natural disasters, and among them, floods remain one of the most devastating. Heavy monsoon rains, inadequate drainage systems, and melting glaciers often combine to trigger widespread destruction. Entire villages are submerged, agricultural lands are destroyed, and millions of people are forced to leave their homes in search of safety.
Thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder that weakens the body’s ability to produce healthy red blood cells and hemoglobin. As a result, patients experience severe anemia, fatigue, and require regular blood transfusions to survive. Across the world, millions are affected, but the situation in Pakistan is alarming—thousands of children are born every year with Thalassemia, making it a national health challenge.
Every child is unique, but some children are born with physical, intellectual, or developmental challenges that make them “special.” These children are not defined by their disabilities; rather, they possess remarkable talents, resilience, and potential that deserve recognition. Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, including Pakistan, special children often face social stigma, lack of educational opportunities, and limited healthcare facilities.
