A Walking Man, Now Bound to Bed
Life is a test — and for people like Javed, who is a TB patient, it’s an uphill battle against poverty, illness, and helplessness.
He once walked with pride, but now he’s confined to a bed.

Voices Against Chains — Dr. Shahida Noumani at Alhamra Hall!
Dr. Shahida Noumani’s heartfelt speech at the Adabi Baithak brought attention to the painful reality faced by many children forced into labor.

Shauoor Welfare Foundation SWF proudly hosted a heartfelt tribute titled:
“In Loving Memory of Iqbal Masih – A Symbol of Courage Against Child Labor”

Basic rights are a distant dream for these children — when a disabled child is forced to crawl on a burning ground under 45°C, it’s a heartbreaking reminder of our collective failure.

Shamim Baji is burdened with countless struggles after being widowed. After her husband, her health is deteriorating, and she is solely responsible for three disabled children — including two grown daughters and a son.

Who Was Iqbal Masih? —How did he spark a revolution in the world of child labor?
When we hear the name Iqbal, many of us think of a poet.
But today, we speak of another Iqbal — a child whose fight lit up the world.

At the time of marriage, girls dream of love, joy, and celebration.
But when there’s no father, or illness and disability have left the family helpless, these dreams turn into lifelong regrets.

A voice for justice!
We are honored to have Mr. Jawad, Founder of Alpha Foundation, with us at the event in the memory of Iqbal Masih at Adabi Baithak, Alhamra Hall, Lahore Arts Council.
