About Us

ABOUT US Gilgit Baltistan’s Goodwill Movement is a disabled-led organization. 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.
