Mr. Jawad Akhtar  left us in the early hours of December 29th 2017 to be with his Creator.

He joined Nai Zindagi in its infancy and has since remained loyal and always a brave person ready to face difficult times to ensure quality services for clients often in need and in distress due to stigma and marginalisation.

During his 20 years with Nai Zindagi he has generously held many to learn from his personal experiences and move on to provide support to those in need. Even in his long stretched and painful illness, he always smiled and managed to contribute to improve quality of services and give hope to the hopeless.

May Allah grant him  the highest place in paradise and give us strength to cope up with this immense vacuum.
