Khuddar Pakistan


Khuddar Pakistan is Telenor Pakistan's flagship corporate responsibility initiative. With Khuddar Pakistan, we want to make a difference in the lives of our fellow persons with disabilities by addressing the challenges they face.

Under the umbrella of awareness, accessibility and inclusion, we are striving to change the public mindset by raising awareness about persons with disabilities and help develop technologies that will give them the opportunity to actively participate in society. We value diversity and pledge to integrate persons with disability fully into our workforce.

Currently, we are the only company in Pakistan to have a formal disability advisor and a disability advisory panel. Special Talent Exchange Program (STEP), a cross disability organization has been engaged as advisor to Telenor Pakistan for the provision of consultancy services on issues related to disability in Pakistan and international trends. We sponsor assistive technology training labs for persons with disabilities at National Institute of Special Education, National Training Center for Special Persons (NTCSP), and Special Talent Exchange (STEP). We have the first corporate products & services/career website that is accessible and our staff participate actively in the first formal employee volunteerism drive in the corporate sector to work with persons with disabilities.
