Mumtaz: An extraordinary journey to an ordinary Karachi life

KVTC is the first Vocational Education and Training (VET) centre for intellectually disabled (ID) people in Pakistan.

Since 1991, KVTC has proved with an unprecedented 400 graduated trainees gainfully employed in Karachi, that intellectually disabled people can become independent, contributing, and responsible members of society.

This is the story of Mumtaz, another trainee who graduated from KVTC, leading a life that may seem ordinary to us, but means the entire world to him.
