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.
The Visually Impaired students must have specialized services, books and materials in appropriate media including Audio, Digital Text, as well as specialized audio equipment 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 the 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 $1,552 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 GlobalGiving 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 GlobalGiving, 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
