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 25000 visually challenged children and youths mainly from rural areas. In a country with the highest incidence of Blindness in the world, IAB has been working for about 33 years in empowering people with visual challenges through education. This project give rise to $324 through 6 generous donations.
With this funds, we started to procure some of the edible commodities as part of supporting old aged visually challenged persons. Old age persons belongs to very poor family background. After identifying the situation of elderly people, we committee has discussed and taken up the initiation of supply of food groceries to them every month. To keep the old people happy in some extent on humanitarian grounds, we are supplying every month food groceries rice, dal, cooking oil, etc to them.
we look forward in 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.
