About Us

GBGM was started as a social media forum in 2019 by its founder Ghulam Muhammad Baig, who has cerebral palsy and has recently graduated in BA Hons Politics and International Relations at Strathclyde University, Glasgow. Having been educated and trained in the UK since Primary School, Ghulam’s ambition was to campaign for the cause of persons with disabilities in Gilgit Baltistan.

During COVID19 pandemic he learned that the disabled community in Gilgit Baltistan was in extreme difficulties with no basic facilities, he made a resolution for his lifelong commitment to work for the disabled or differently abled Community of Gilgit Baltistan. Remaining pro-active on social media during the first year of pandemic where educational institutions were closed, Ghulam found a large team of volunteers among whom there were prominent disabled activists of Gilgit Baltistan including Sehrish Kanwal Farhan Baig, Abrar Ahmed, Mumtaz Ali, Abdul Hakeem, Mustafa Kamal, Najeeba and Khushan Bano and Ali Ahmed
