In his address to the Ismaili Jamat on Monday, His Highness the Aga Khan, Rahim Al Hussaini, underscored the significance of community development as a pillar of both individual well-being and global progress. He emphasized that sustainable development must be inclusive, ensuring that every individual, regardless of their circumstances, has the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to society.
The Gilgit-Baltistan Goodwill Movement (GBGM) remains deeply aligned with this vision and is steadfast in its mission to uplift and empower marginalized communities. Our commitment to social equity is rooted in the principles of inclusivity, dignity, and progress for all, particularly for disabled and differently abled individuals.
We firmly believe that accessibility and equal opportunities are fundamental human rights. Through our ongoing initiatives, we work to remove barriers—both physical and societal—that hinder full participation. By fostering an environment of understanding, support, and integration, we aim to empower individuals with disabilities to lead independent and fulfilling lives.
Our approach extends beyond advocacy; we actively implement programs that enhance accessibility in education, employment, and public spaces. We collaborate with local and international partners to drive policy changes, increase awareness, and create tangible solutions that improve quality of life.
At GBGM, we are dedicated to building a society where every individual, regardless of ability, religion, or gender, is recognized for their unique contributions. By working together, we can create a future that reflects the values of inclusion, compassion, and shared prosperity.
