How Your Small Donation Can Create a Big Impact for the Visually Impaired in India

In a world driven by speed and sight, imagine navigating life without vision—and without support. Now imagine if a small act of kindness from you could help change that.

For the visually impaired in India, basic rights like education, food, shelter, or access to information are still a struggle. But your small donation can help bridge that gap—in a real, tangible way.

At Navjyot Andhjan Mandal, we witness every day how even modest contributions create powerful change for blind and visually impaired individuals who are striving to live with dignity and independence.

Why Supporting the Visually Impaired Matters

India is home to one of the world’s largest blind populations, yet resources to support them remain limited. Visually impaired individuals face significant challenges in:

• Accessing education and study materials

• Finding safe and affordable housing

• Getting basic nutrition and medical care

• Navigating exams and official paperwork without assistance

Without proper support, they risk being left behind—socially, academically, and economically.

Your donation for the blind in India does more than just offer aid—it offers hope, dignity, and opportunity.

What Navjyot Andhjan Mandal Does with Your Support

At Navjyot Andhjan Mandal, based in Paldi, Ahmedabad, we provide direct, ground-level support to the blind community across Gujarat. Here’s how your donations help:

1. Affordable Residential Housing

We offer safe accommodation for blind workers and students, charging just ₹1,000/month for those who can pay—and completely free for those who cannot.

This includes:

• Two wholesome vegetarian meals daily

• Clean, secure living space

• Community support and access to daily needs

2. Free Food Service

We run a free food facility, offering two nutritious meals every day to residents and the blind community in need. For many, this is the only source of daily nutrition they can rely on.

3. Educational Assistance & Audio Library

Blind students from Gujarat and Saurashtra universities use our MP3/CD audio library to prepare for their exams. These audio materials are life-changing, especially for those without access to braille or digital alternatives.

4. Scribe Assistance for Exams

Each year, hundreds of visually impaired students receive our “writer” (scribe) service to sit for competitive and academic exams. This single service plays a pivotal role in opening career and academic doors.

5. Information & Rights Access

Our help center educates the blind community about:

• Scholarships and education programs

• Job openings with reservation policies

• Legal rights and welfare schemes

• Guidance on government procedures

Knowledge is power—and your support helps us spread it.

What Can a Small Donation Do?

You don’t need to be a billionaire philanthropist to make a difference. Here's a look at what your donation can do:

Donation Amount	Real Impact

💬 “Even ₹100 can feed someone today. That’s impact in real time.”

Real People. Real Change.

Here’s just one of many stories:

Meena, a blind university student from Rajkot, struggled with her final exams due to a lack of study materials and no access to a scribe. Through Navjyot Andhjan Mandal, she received audio content from our library and was matched with a volunteer writer. She passed her exams and is now preparing for a government job exam—with continued help from our center.

All of this was made possible by donations like yours.
