Imagine students in rural areas using computers and reading books! Many students do not have access to technology and lack basic knowledge of computer skills. Indian Association for Blind (IAB) aims to provide various supports & training to the visually impaired community to make them self-reliant. One of our programs is providing training for visually impaired school students. Through this project, visually impaired can build up their ability to independently access information using a computer
Our mission is to empower the blind and visually impaired students through assistive technology. Due to their lack of computer literacy, they are unable to access online information that might otherwise allow them to more fully participate in society. Students become discouraged and fall behind due to technological challenges. We tries to help visually impaired children to use the technology that suits them best as they grow up.
When Persons with disabilities are equipped with computer literacy and computer assistive technology they will be more likely move forward in their career and employment, which leads to self-sufficiency and a higher self esteem. With success, more visually impaired persons will pursue higher education and professional aspirations. "There is no better way to thank God for your sight than by giving a helping hand to someone in the dark".
