KDSP - A Down Syndrome Organisation (KDSP), a non-profit organization, was launched in March 2014 by a group of concerned parents and passionate individuals who due to limited support and resources available locally, realized a need for a platform for those with Down syndrome. KDSP was formed with the mission to advocate the value, acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome living in Karachi and aims to provide them with the opportunity to lead independent and fulfilling lives.
KDSP understands the needs of individuals with Down syndrome and their loved ones and so from the moment a family with a child with Down syndrome is introduced to us, KDSP embarks on a journey with them, until they feel empowered, included and equal members of society. We serve as a KASHTI for our Family Network as they navigate the waters of life; carrying them through with our 6 areas of service.
Our services extend to the families and loved ones of individuals with Down syndrome because in our eyes, no one is left behind.
Raising awareness and spreading the correct information through mass channels and events, because in society everyone is held accountable.
Working with leading healthcare organizations to ensure individuals with Down syndrome receive excellent quality services at affordable costs.
Aiming to unleash the potential of children and adults with Down syndrome through vocational training delivered by experts of the field.
Working on both ends, with children with Down syndrome and mainstream schools, delivering training and workshops to ensure a seamless integration, because every child has the right to education.
Surmounting developmental milestones with tailor made occupational, physical and speech therapies to pave the way for independent living.
