Our Journey
Eilya Care Foundation was founded in 2015 by Mrs. Nadia Gillani and Mr. Kamran Raza with an unwavering belief in the power of inclusion to foster dignity and self-worth in every child. The foundation began with a singularmission: to dismantle the barriers facing these individuals and ensure their inherent dignity and talents are recognized in a world that often excludes them..
The journey of Eilya Care Foundation traces back to 1998, when Ms. Nadia, after completing her Master&apso;s from Punjab University, found herself driven by a commitment to the rights and inclusion of persons with disabilities. After working for 14 years in the UK, her life took a major turn when her father suffered a debilitating stroke in 2011, losing his speech, sight, and mobility. This event gave Ms. Nadia new strength, inspiring her to return to Pakistan and make an impact where it was needed most.
One student, Turaab, who has Cerebral Palsy, faced societal rejection and systemic exclusion But under Ms. Nadia&apso;s care, Turaab blossomed. His success became the cornerstone of Eilya Care Foundation, transforming her vision into a reality where every child, no matter their challenge, is given the tools to thrive.
