ISLAMABAD: Niaz Support is proud to announce the appointment of renowned Pakistani mountaineer Sirbaz Khan as its newest Goodwill Ambassador. Sirbaz’s exceptional achievements, including being the first Pakistani to summit all 14 of the world’s highest peaks, reflect not only physical courage but also a profound understanding of human perseverance. His journey, marked by extreme challenges and high-risk expeditions, has brought him close to fellow climbers and sherpas who have suffered life-altering injuries, giving him personal insight into the realities of living with disability and the critical importance of support and mobility.
Sirbaz joins a distinguished roster of national champions who have previously served as goodwill ambassadors for Niaz Support, including international squash legend Jahangir Khan, celebrated artist Abrar-ul-Haq, former Chief of Air Staff Mujahid Anwar Khan, ex-state minister and life coach Azam Jamil, and actor-producer Khaled Anam. Their collective efforts have elevated public awareness and inspired community engagement for persons with disabilities, and Sirbaz’s unique connection to the challenges faced by disabled climbers brings a deeply personal perspective to the role.
Founded by visionary social entrepreneur Hussain Odhwani, Niaz Support is Pakistan’s leading disability-focused social enterprise. It restores mobility and dignity through customized wheelchairs, scholarship support, and workplace inclusion initiatives, integrating persons with disabilities into meaningful employment while enhancing independence for thousands of beneficiaries. Hussain Odhwani said, “Sirbaz Khan embodies courage, determination, and empathy. His firsthand understanding of the challenges faced by those disabled in extreme conditions will bring authenticity and urgency to our mission, inspiring millions to support and advocate for inclusion.”
Sirbaz Khan shared his excitement about the role: “Having seen friends and fellow sherpas face life-changing disabilities during expeditions, I know how critical access, mobility, and support are. I am honored to join Niaz Support and contribute to a cause that empowers persons with disabilities to regain independence, confidence, and hope.”
