According
to a news report released last year, India is now home to the world's
largest number of blind people. Of the 37 million people across the
globe who are blind, over 15 million are in India. What's
worse is that 75% of these are cases of avoidable
blindness.
Visual impairment leads to loss of livelihood for otherwise
productive adults causing difficulty not only to themselves but to the
families they support. Most visually-impaired children don’t
have access to special teaching aids they need to learn.
It takes so little to help
a visually impaired person regain their vision and lead a independent
life or to shed light by educating a child living in darkness.
