If You Are an Individual With a Disability
You cannot send this form yourself. What you can do: ask a registered NGO or rehabilitation centre near you whether it is applying under this call and give them your details and disability certificate, or contact your district DEPD office. News reports said that in 2025-26 the Sindh government released funds to partner NGOs for wheelchairs, hearing aids and artificial limbs (see Dawn), so partner NGOs are the usual route. Never pay anyone for a device.
What Is Not Confirmed
- Funding amount or number of devices available under this call: not stated in the ad.
- Selection criteria and timeline after the last date: not stated.
- Whether late applications are accepted: not stated; assume no.
- The online form fields: we did not open or fill the KoBo form (it is an application form), so we cannot describe it.
