Appeal

India is the home of 320,000 children with blindness, and according to NCERT (National Council of Educational Research and Training), 70.84% of them do not go to school. Most of these blind children live in rural areas where they do not have access to quality education and rehabilitation due to poverty and lack of resources. Some of the critical challenges include lack or paucity of:
Rehabilitation support for blind children
Special schools in rural areas
Special teachers in government schools
Knowledge of blindness among parents
Inclusive infrastructure in schools
Availability of study books in Braille
