Battle for Blindness Foundation

Battle for Blindness is on a mission to enhance employment opportunities for the visually impaired. Its goal is not just any employment but meaningful, choice-driven jobs that have a positive impact on the lives of those with visual impairment and their loved ones. With qualified volunteers who bring valuable market experience, the organisation aims to provide necessary skill development, interview training, job selection based on capabilities, and ultimately, the achievement of each individual's dream job. It is dedicated to collectively working towards this goal, fostering a brighter future for the visually impaired.

Battle for Blindness is committed to preparing visually impaired individuals for Government job opportunities. Despite reserved seats for the visually impaired in the Government sector, many remain unaware of these opportunities. The organisation's mission is twofold: to educate the visually impaired about these openings and to provide the essential support and guidance needed to make successful applications, navigate examinations and interviews, and secure coveted Government positions that may have otherwise remained out of reach. Its aim is to empower the visually impaired with the knowledge and tools to pursue a fulfilling career in the public sector.

Battle for Blindness is dedicated to enhancing the independence of visually impaired individuals through its orientation and mobility program. Based on extensive interactions with the visually impaired, the organisation recognises their strong desire for independence, especially in their mobility. This programme is designed to teach them safe and effective travel techniques, ensuring they can move around freely with confidence and without obstacles. The ultimate goal is to empower the visually impaired, providing them with increased mobility, independence, and a happier, more fulfilling life. Our team takes them to the city on different transportation modes and encourages them to use the walking cane and be alert and safe.

At the Battle for Blindness Foundation, we are dedicated to illuminating the path of empowerment for visually impaired girls. As a prominent nonprofit organisation, we have been unwavering in our commitment to transform the lives of economically disadvantaged, visually impaired girls since our establishment in 2022. Over the years, our impact has grown exponentially, and today, we proudly serve a community of abandoned blind girls.
Our core objective is to uplift the lives of visually impaired girls by providing them with support for leading a brighter future. We do this by offering cost-free hostel accommodation, quality food, and invaluable guidance on pursuing education, and career opportunities and getting prepared to lead their lives with confidence. The hostel also has a computer lab and a Braille library.

Battle for Blindness is committed to facilitating sports training for the visually impaired. Opportunities in Paralympic sports have expanded significantly, encompassing various disciplines such as athletics, cycling, equestrian, football, goalball, judo, rowing, sailing, and swimming. While India also offers equal opportunities, the challenge lies in visually impaired individuals accessing information and receiving the necessary training. The organisation has addressed this limitation by assembling a dedicated team that provides comprehensive sports training to empower the visually impaired in pursuing their sporting aspirations. We are proud to share that one of our students and residents, named Simu, has played for India as a part of the Indian National Blind Cricket Team.
