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 23700 visually challenged children and youths mainly from rural areas.Uniforms strengthen school unity and foster a sense of pride among IAB students. We have received 3343 dollars donations till date through 28 donations.
Thanks to the individuals and residents on behalf of them. We really feel very thankful for your continuous philanthropic effort.In schools, the students should feel the uniformity among them and this can be achieved only by wearing uniforms. Also the self esteem and self confidence can be built in them. So donate us to serve them their uniforms.
Its not a long lasting one and it can be used only for a year. So its a regular need that a student should wear their uniforms.There are many families that simply cannot afford to purchase the required school attire for their children. “We got a loud cry from parents telling us their children were not going to school simply because they didn’t have uniforms. We wanted kids to feel more accepted and feel that sense of belonging and not get teased for not having uniforms — so they could concentrate more on their studies.”
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.
