Braille books for 4000 visually challenged kids

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. In a country with highest incidence of Blindness in the world, IAB has been working for about 30 years in empowering people with visual challenges through education.

One of the major programs of IAB is the IAB Higher secondary school which was established in 1992 to impart technology aided quality education through committed teachers with special qualifications in teaching the visually challenged. Your support will enable our children to get a quality residential education. The funds that we receive through Global giving will be very beneficial to us in increasing the number of copies among our students per classroom.

Your philanthropic interest in making them having their own braille books is deeply appreciable and this gives raise to $6,381 through your generous donations. 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.

Still there is inadequate funds for production and distribution of Braille Text books to our visually Challenged School Students. Currently we are circulating only minimum number of copies of a text book in a class room. So, we look forward in 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.
