Empowering Acid Attack Victims – Nayee Zindagi Program
Nayee Zindagi Program is a social protection policy and the program has long been recognized for its significance in addressing ongoing poverty issues. The core objective of social protection is to bolster the resilience of underprivileged individuals. And enable them to better manage economic and social risks.
In alignment with this vision, the Punjab Social Protection Authority (PSPA), as part of the ‘Punjab Ehsaas Program,’ proudly presents the ‘Nayee Zindagi Program’ tailored specifically for Acid Attack Victims. This program is geared towards the comprehensive rehabilitation of Acid Attack survivors. Encompassing reconstructive surgeries and psychological counseling to facilitate their reintegration into society. In close partnership with the Specialized Healthcare & Medical Education Department, PSPA shoulders the treatment costs.
