Braille Books in India for visually impaired children. This shall be a select collection of books for children and aims towards promoting the reading habit in the visually impaired among the rural poor. This is possible only with the availability of accessible reading material! To create and distribute such accessible material in the form of Braille Books in India, IAB has launched the "Donate for Braille Books" campaign.
Your help will make this dream come true! There are many students with visual disability and one in three of them are in IAB.The only means of basic education to these people is through Braille. Availability of Braille books in local languages is extremely limited and is nonexistent for the rural poor. Apart from school textbooks, blind children are completely deprived of reading material. There are different story books suitable for general reading for children from class 1 to class 10. These books will be printed in Braille and distributed to the blind students in our school which are actively serving children from rural communities. Production and printing costs of a book are exorbitant.
Truthfully, we could not do this without you GlobalGiving! We at IAB very happy to share you that we benefited $11390. Your donation can make a difference! We and those we serve, sincerely appreciate your generosity. You are not just helping them to read braille books. You are just giving them a valued knowledge to their lives. Reading will turn a human into more confident on their knowledge and dignity. Make them more confident and effective with your donations.
