ceo's message

Mr. Sohail Ayaz is a committed CEO of the company that focuses on achieving its vision, mission, and values. The CEO understands the importance of the measures taken at CEHF International. He aims to make CHEF the Best Donation NGO in Pakistan. He understands that people with disabilities live in difficult circumstances due to inadequate services and opportunities. As a result, NGOs, consultancies and advocacy groups play an active part in promoting inclusivity, influencing policies and providing assistance — and prevention where possible — to people living with disabilities. Rehabilitation for persons with impairment and disability is demanding in any context because it involves long-term interventions and requires donations from national/international donors and care providers with specialized skills. In protracted crises, however, rehabilitation is particularly challenging. The infrastructure may be destroyed or degraded, affecting communication, access to buildings and roads, and procurement of rehabilitation products and services. The need for rehabilitation will be increased, urgent and complex. Cultural concepts and beliefs around disability may be stigmatizing, hindering the development of rehabilitation policies. Accordingly, the most vulnerable, including women and children with disabilities, may get further marginalized, exploited and exposed to violence. Rehabilitation addresses the impact of a health condition on a person’s everyday life by optimizing their functioning and reducing their experience of disability. Rehabilitation expands the focus of health beyond preventative and curative care to ensure people with a health condition can remain as independent as possible and participate in education, work and meaningful life roles. Anybody may need rehabilitation at some point, whether they have experienced an injury, disease, illness, or because their functioning has declined with age. Since its inception in 2007, CHEF International has been at the forefront of inclusive education, inclusive health, cross-disability, eye care, advocacy and disaster & emergency response about relief and rehabilitation programs. The team is working CHEF International is dedicated to improving the quality of life of children with disabilities at the community level.

Moreover, the team at CHEF International worked tirelessly to provide the best services possible to deserving families during the difficult times of Covid-19, including food, medical care, and financial assistance. Similar to how they did in the pandemic years, CHEF’s dedicated team assisted the flood victims in 2010 and 2022. When floods ravaged the Charsada district in Khyber-Paktunkhwa, CHEF International organized medical camps, distributed food, and provided clean drinking water, thus actively participating in the rescue, relief, and rehabilitation of the locals, with thanks to the unwavering support of the Board of Directors, national and international partners, donors.
