Assistive devices for 200 visually challenged kids

We, lndian Association for the Blind (lAB), are based in South India and are 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. Until today,we have benefited more than 15000 youths who have now proved to be productive members of society.

Thanks to the support from GlobalGiving, we have received donations from 35 donors we have raised totally $641.93 through this project. This fund has helped us by providing assistive devices to our beneficiaries. The assistive devices have helped to increase the student participation and give independence. Assistive device helps to enables visually impaired students to access and store the information libraries around the world and internet. This should provide them independent to compete with peer.

This being the case, at IAB, we aim to provide our visually challenged students with the right devices which will help make their lives easier and those that help them be on par with the sighted individuals. We are glad to be a part of GlobalGiving, as providing assistive devices to our students has been a lot easier by connecting with generous donors.
