Indian Association for the Blind (lAB) is a renowned non-profit organization based in South India. We work to provide good quality education, employment, training and rehabilitation facilities for visually challenged children and youths from rural areas. It was established in 1985 by visually challenged activist Late Mr. S.M.A.Jinnah and a group of like-minded visually challenged people. Till date, IAB has benefited more than 11200 youths.
We have raised totally $336 through global giving. We are thankful for our donors, you are truly making a difference in people's lives. You may be counting the days till Diwali. Till the festivities begin. Till diyas and rangoli brighten your house. And you spend evenings with friends and family lighting crackers. While you do so, we ask you to spare a thought for the less fortunate. For those who live all their lives in darkness. And have no idea when they'll ever see light. Diwali is a excellent time to start thinking about helping other people. This includes providing food, clothing and toys for families to enable them to experience the joy of the Diwali Festival. Giving warmth, love and hope. That’s what Diwali should be all about.
Philanthropy literally means the love of mankind, and Diwali is the right time for it. Celebrate Diwali this year by brightening a life. There's no more special gift than this.
We look forward to 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.
