Assistive devices for 200 visually challenged kids

Students with visual impairments should have unique educational needs that are most effectively met using a modern approach to make them learn like other students with vision. In order to meet their unique needs in learning, Mr. Jinnah, the founder of IAB, have worked hard to provide all the new technologies in learning.

The Visually Impaired students must have specialized services, books and materials in appropriate media including Audio, Digital Text, as well as specialized audio equipments to most effectively compete with students with vision in school and in society. Individual Care is given to every student and it helps the school to come with 100% result in the board exams in the successive years.

Students are given training to integrate the technology of the modern world in learning. A modernized computer lab and a dynamic and professional library enhance the students to grasp the lesson easily. All these can be achieved only by the philanthropic efforts of people like you.  

The drive has helped provide assistive devices to numerous Visually Challenged students over the years, rising close to $1,352 since its inception, thanks to generous individuals and residents on behalf of them.

The visually impaired looks at the world with the eyes of the donors. Donors like you are the eyes of the blind and you guide them and make them live in this competitive world. The education given in IAB is not bookish, but it helps them to be self-reliant in the future. With joining hands with GlobalGiving, IAB tries to bring smiles on the face of the visually impaired. The generous donors help us to achieve what we aim at.

Indian Association for the Blind (lAB), based in South India is a well-known non-profit organization working to provide education, employment, training and rehabilitation for the visually challenged from rural areas. Late Mr. S.M.A.Jinnah, the visually challenged activist and a group of like-minded visually challenged people founded IAB in 1985. Since its inception, IAB has educated and rehabilitated more than 19420 visually challenged children and youths mainly from rural areas.

Vision is the primary sense upon which most traditional education strategies are based. These strategies must be modified to reflect the child's visual, auditory and tactile/vision capabilities. A child with a severe visual loss can directly experience only what is within arm's reach and can be safely touched, and in most cases, what can be heard. In order to meet their unique needs, students must have specialized services, books and instructional materials in appropriate media, as well as specialized equipment and technology so they can have equal access to the core and specialized curricula, and to enable them to most effectively compete with their peers in school and ultimately in society.

The drive has helped provide assistive devices to numerous Visually Challenged students over the years, rising close to $1,252 since its inception, thanks to generous individuals and residents on behalf of them. Technology innovation is making education for the blind and visually impaired better, cheaper, and more seamlessly integrated into both traditional classroom and online settings.

Once again, we want to thank the philanthropist for their contributions and also the Global Giving who paved the way for us to utilize their donations from all over the world. We look forward to raising more for this cause. As always, we, along with Global Giving, will do our best in reaching out to generous donors across the Globe and will strive to bring happiness on the face of each of our beneficiaries.
