Promotion of education

Education is the most powerful weapon which can change the world. Blind Organization Of India has been working for the cause of the visually impaired child right from 2002, when it began its National Project for Visually Impaired.Over the years, BOI has benefited many visually impaired individuals, especially children. BOI has supported visually impaired children with Braille textbooks.

Avenues for access to newer employment opportunities for the visually impaired is by opening a computer centre. The computer centre provides basic computer course for school and college going visually impaired students on the fundamentals of computers with the support of assistive technologies like such as JAWS, NVDA etc.

Employment Enhancing Vocational Skills

As of now, our trust has been focusing on “Vocational Training Program” for well educate blind persons from different states who wish to work in commercial and social scenario and earn their daily earnings. This training will be free of cost for all the educated blind persons. It can be a better source for income for blind persons and their family. In the commercial and social scenario there is a wide scope of employment opportunities available for the partial and completely blind people in both government and private sectors. Computer centers that provide training to these visually impaired people using a special software “JAWS” are very few and are incapable of serving to a large number of such people.

The Organization has an owned space where these computers can be installed and training program can take place simultaneously batch wise. Need for this training is much essential in this slum area, as many of them are unable to give high fees for learning such courses. Thus, our Organization wish to provide free training to such needy poor blind persons including men, women. So that they also can get a chance to live life to the fullest.

Thousand of students and educated blind people will get benefited from computer centers every year. BOI also organizes soft skills trainings such as in the field of communication, confidence building etc.

An initiative of BOI, wherein women from all over India were trained in specific skillsets in order to enable them to enhance capability levels, improve life skills and promote peer education.

Empowering Women

Women all over the world have proved that they can do great things if they are given a chance. Unfortunately, opportunities don’t always come knocking at the doors of most women in rural India.

Doing a bit towards creating a truly equitable world and support in every section of the society can be a bigger help some day.
