In this episode we sit down with Ali Allawala and Farzeen Ali to discuss their innovative and inspiring work to support families and individuals with Down Syndrome. Ali and Farzeen are Co-founders and current directors of The Karachi Down Syndrome Program (KDSP). KDSP is a non-profit organization in Karachi Pakistan, launched in March 2014 by a group of concerned parents and passionate individuals who realized a need for a platform for those with Down syndrome due to limited support and resources available locally. KDSP’s mission is to advocate the value, acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome living in Karachi and aims to provide them with the opportunity to lead independent and fulfilling lives. KDSP embarks on a journey with families and those with Down Syndrome to ensure they feel empowered, included and equal members of society.

Ali and Farzeen discuss their personal journey with the diagnosis of their daughter, what led them to found The Karachi Down Syndrome Program, and ways KDSP is serving the community in Karachi Pakistan. Their story of navigating an unexpected diagnosis and figuring out step by step what life can look like for their daughter is one many families will be able to relate to.
