lndian Association for the Blind (lAB),based in Madurai, South India, is a well-known non-profit organization working at the grassroots level for the education, employment and rehabilitation of people with visual challenges. It was established 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 living in rural areas.
Thanks to GlobalGiving, we have received $2,989 through 23 donations for this project. We are very proud to be associated with GlobalGiving as it provides us an opportunity to connect with donors from across the globe. With this sum, we have been able to take our children closer to their dream of having their own comfortable bedding.
We would be truly grateful if we receive more support for this project in future by way of more donations. We seek the support of more philanthropists to provide new, individual bedding facilities for our beneficiaries. A majority of these children are from rural areas who have not had the basic privilege of sleeping on a good bed with good blankets and pillows. Through this project, we want to give them whatever it needs for a peaceful sleep. It will help enhance their concentration.
