KP Begins Comprehensive Data Drive For Persons With Disabilities, Orphans, Widows In Mohmand
PESHAWAR, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 28th Aug, 2026) The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has launched a district-wide data collection drive in Mohmand to identify persons with disabilities, orphaned children and widowed women and facilitate their inclusion in future welfare and social protection programmes.
This initiative, initiated under the directives of Chief Minister Sohail Afridi and Adviser on Zakat, Ushr, Social Welfare, Special Education and Women Empowerment Liaquat Ali Khan, aims to create an authentic and verified database of vulnerable segments of society. The collected information will empower the government to assess the needs of deserving families and design targeted programmes for financial assistance, rehabilitation, social protection, and other welfare services.
Accessing the Drive
The authorities have streamlined the process, allowing eligible individuals to submit their information through prescribed verified forms to the Zakat Committee chairmen of their respective Village or Neighbourhood Councils. This approach eliminates the need for residents of remote areas to travel to district offices.
Specific Requirements:
- Persons with disabilities are requested to provide copies of their disability certificates, while those without can seek assistance from the District Social Welfare Department.
- Orphans and widows must attach relevant death certificates of their parents or husbands.
Local elders, social workers, and Zakat committee representatives have been encouraged to actively participate in the campaign, ensuring no deserving person is left behind.
This exercise promises to offer the government reliable grassroots-level information, enabling better resource allocation and more effective delivery of welfare services to vulnerable communities in Mohmand.
