Indian Association for the Blind (lAB) Madurai based NGO from South India, working at the grassroots level for the education, employment and rehabilitation of people with visually challenged. It was founded in 1985 by visually challenged activist Late Mr. S.M.A.Jinnah and a group of like-minded visually challenged people to provide comprehensive education, employment and rehabilitation opportunities for socio-economically disempowered visually challenged children and adults with a special focus on those from rural background.
As we know, one of these needs, apart from food and shelter is clothing. They are from poor financial backgrounds. The earnings of their parents are very low. Their dream of wearing new clothes and being on par with students from other schools will be fulfilled only with the support of Global giving. So far we have received $2,599 through this drive. Thanks to all the philanthropists who supported us till.
This very thought will push them to concentrate and perform well in both academics as well as extra curricular activities. By good performance and education they can reach great heights in life and know the importance of neat presentation of one's self to impress others and gain their confidence.
So 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.
