Karachi, 15th August 2024 – JS Bank, one of the fastest-growing banks in Pakistan, marked
the nation’s 77th Independence Day with a heartwarming initiative by partnering with the
Association of Physically Disabled Adults (APHA) to donate electronic wheelchairs to differently-
abled individuals, empowering them to lead more independent lives. An event was organized by
APHA to commemorate this special occasion, attended by Kazim Raza, Head of Distribution
and Branch Banking, and Jamil Memon, Head of CSR and Administration at JS Bank, along

welfare and rehabilitation of persons with disabilities (PWDs), particularly those who are
physically handicapped. The organization serves the community through various initiatives,
including a rehabilitation and physiotherapy center that provides artificial limbs, vocational
training centers for PWDs, customized vehicles to support the livelihoods of PWDs, and a
school for special children.

various social causes across Pakistan through meaningful contributions and initiatives,
