There are 15 million blind women in India.

Only 5% of them capable of earning a living.

Blind girls face societal bias, considered burdens, perpetuating poverty and exclusion.

How We work

When they come in, they are lost, dejected, dis-empowered. However, with each passing day, it’s the smile on their faces and the spring of confidence in their steps which keeps us going.
