Executive Member ACRO
“Both of my daughters are special, and the day we met Dr. Maria Kazmi marked a turning point in our lives — one filled with hope and purpose. Her expertise and compassion played a pivotal role in ensuring they received the care they truly needed.
That experience inspired a greater mission. Together with Dr. Maria Kazmi, we established the Autism Care and Rehabilitation Organization (ACRO) — a center dedicated to supporting children with special needs. Our vision was clear: to create a nurturing environment where children like my daughters could receive specialized support and thrive.
Today, ACRO stands as one of Karachi’s leading centers for autism care, and our passionate team remains committed to expanding its reach and impact for families across the city and beyond.”

What the Chief Minister of Sindh Says
Syed Murad Ali Shah
“Autism is not a deficiency — it is a different way of perceiving the world. True progress is achieved through empathy, understanding, and acceptance of these unique perspectives. Our government is steadfast in its commitment to ensuring that every child with special needs is treated with dignity, love, and equal opportunity.
In Sindh, autism awareness is more than a campaign — it is a heartfelt promise to every child creating a world of their own. Children with special needs are not a responsibility — they are our pride. They don’t just require support; they deserve an inclusive, empowered society.
Through strong public-private partnerships, we are developing a sustainable system that safeguards the future of every child on the autism spectrum. I envision a Sindh where no parent fears for the future of their special child — where understanding autism is not just a medical or educational duty, but a moral obligation rooted in our shared humanity.”
What the Secretary of DEPD Sindh Says
Tuaha Ahmed Faruqui Sindh
As Secretary, I am committed to building an inclusive society where every individual, without discrimination, can live with dignity, access essential resources, and fully participate in all aspects of life. We focus on removing barriers through policies and programs that support education, employment, healthcare, and social protection. Our aim is to keep you informed, engaged, and empowered, so that together we can build a more inclusive and equitable future.
