Rukhsana Kausar- Bagh

“We were listening to our teacher when the walls started to crumble and suddenly there was darkness”, Rukhsana from district Bagh recalls her experience of the earthquake 2005. Waking up in the emergency days later, the then 8 year old was missing a lower limb.

She is very keen to serve people who suffered similar tragedies. Preparing for her matriculation exams, she’s motivated to study further and gain technical expertise in the field of orthotics and prosthetics. When asked for a picture, she laughs saying, “I look old but it’s just the weight and I’m working on it”. (Below Knee Amputee)
