Telenor Pakistan Mobile Phone Company launches a new step program for persons with disabilities in Pakistan. Telenor Pakistan, in partnership with the Welfare Association for the Disabled (DWA), the country's most important social welfare organization for the disabled, has launched a new step program. The project aims to empower physically challenged people to participate in the retail sector. Telenor Pakistan has become the first mobile operator in the country to do so. 

Project:

As part of the new initiative project, DWA will provide low-cost loans to select physically challenged persons at specially designed motorcycle shops under Telenor Pakistan. These shops are designed with wheels so that people with disabilities can easily use them and display and sell their wares on the go.

In an extraordinary effort so far in the field of telecommunications, Telenor Pakistan has also arranged for physically challenged people to become retailers for its most popular product, EasyLoad, so that they can live a dignified life as traders. To further increase their income, they will be able to sell small breakfast items on motorcycles with built-in tick boxes.

Explaining the new step project, DWA President Javed Raees said, "We appreciate the cooperation of Telenor Pakistan and the fact that they consider us as partners who only seek equal opportunities."
