"We need to be compassionate about empowering such kids with equal devotion towards improving the life quality of their much seriously challenged counterparts," he stressed.

Shaheen Rehman said the project for rehabilitation of mentally challenged children initiated 12 years ago has come a long way. "Experience shows that there is constant increase in the number of such kids," she said acknowledging that it may be also due to availability of the support itself.
