About us

Dar ul Sukun provides care, rehabilitation and protection to Children with disabilities by offering a broad range of services to suit people of all ages with complex disabilities. Our aim is to enable people with disabilities to lead the life they want while maintaining their well-being. We believe that every individual, whether disabled or non-disabled, has the right to life and should be considered an active and important member of the society within their individual capacity. Thus, our efforts remain to create opportunities where persons with disabilities can be included to benefit their communities and be recognized as responsible and active citizens in society.

Impact
Dar ul Sukun provides life-time residential and rehabilitation facilities to a large number of individuals with multiple disabilities across 5 care centres, owned and operated by us. In addition, a big pool of people are reached through our various programmes, activities and engagements including Community Based Rehabilitation Project; Distributing Life Assistive Devices; financial aid for marginalized people; as well as awareness sessions and capacity building initiatives.

Approach
As part of an integrated community approach to assisting individuals with disabilities, Dar ul Sukun works closely with service users, care givers, local authorities, volunteers and other organizations to ensure individual requirements of each care recipient are met. Our staff includes experienced and caring professionals who have in-depth understanding of the needs of people with disabilities and can support them in their educational, vocational, spiritual, and cultural growth as people. Dar ul Sukun offers an enhanced quality of life for those who require consistent care and special attention.

Our well established approach offers our service users the opportunity to thrive and develop as individuals. We are committed to supporting individuals in doing everyday things that we may take for granted. The care practices and philosophies used by Dar ul Sukun have been developed to ensure that each care recipient feels at home and comfortable, yet stimulated to develop as an individual and as far as possible, attempt to integrate within society as responsible members. An in-depth assessment for each care recipient is undertaken which is incorporated in their person centered plan to offer a diversity of experiences and provide an environment that encourages personal growth.

Vision
We envision a society where all people with disability get preferential status in access to health care, education, food, shelter and employment opportunities to live an integrated and dignified life.

Mission
Our mission is to work for abandoned children with physical and intellectual disability, children with non-disability, marginalized and vulnerable people who have been refused by the society and from their families in order to foster an environment of equal opportunity, non-discrimination and independent living for them.
