Building a Brighter Future —One Step at a Time.
Breaking Barriers, Building Futures
We are a non-profit organization empowering visually impaired individuals through education, skill-building, vocational training, and rehabilitation. By offering programs like computer literacy, braille, music, and crafts, we foster confidence, independence, and employment opportunities. Guided by inclusion and dignity, we also advocate for equal rights, digital accessibility, and public awareness to build a more compassionate society. We believe that every individual has unique strengths waiting to be discovered. With the support of our volunteers, partners, and donors, we create opportunities that transform lives. Together, we are not just breaking barriers—we are building a future where everyone can thrive with pride and purpose.
Our mission aligns with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), which promotes, protects, and ensures the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms by all persons with disabilities.
Specifically, Article 21 emphasizes the importance of accessible information and communication, advocating for the provision of information intended for the general public to persons with disabilities in accessible formats and technologies appropriate to different kinds of disabilities.
Additionally, we support initiatives like the Accessible India Campaign (Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan), a nationwide campaign aimed at achieving universal accessibility for persons with disabilities. This initiative focuses on enhancing the physical, transportation, and information & communication technology environments, ensuring that persons with disabilities have equal access to all aspects of society.By aligning our programs with these national and international standards and initiatives, we strive to create an inclusive society where visually impaired individuals can lead independent and fulfilling lives.

Impact Stories
“From Darkness to Degree”
Ravi Kumar, a 22-year-old from a small village in Uttar Pradesh, was born visually impaired. With limited resources, his parents could not afford Braille learning materials or access to special education programs, leaving Ravi at home while his friends went to school. This deepened his sense of isolation and dependency.
Everything changed when the Blind Trust Association’s Inclusive Education initiative welcomed him. Through this program, Ravi received Braille books, Hindi audio lectures, and essential mobility training. The Association also provided hostel support so that he could pursue classes in the city and participate in academic life more independently.
Today, Ravi is pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in History and actively contributes through volunteer teaching for other visually impaired students on his campus. His journey reflects a simple truth: with the right support, disability becomes a path to ability, confidence, and leadership.
“A Singer Finds Her Stage”
Meena Sharma, a talented singer from Rajasthan, lost her eyesight at the age of 10 due to illness. Although she had a gifted voice, she lacked a supportive platform for music performances and struggled to find opportunities, facing repeated rejection in job interviews for persons with disabilities.
Her journey took a positive turn when the Blind Trust Association’s Music Training Program welcomed her. She gained professional music lessons, regular performance opportunities at cultural events, and valuable connections with radio stations and NGOs promoting inclusive arts. Alongside this, Meena also received basic computer training that helped her manage bookings and grow her profile as an artist.
Today, Meena earns a livelihood through stage performances and online music classes, while supporting her family and motivating other visually impaired women to follow their passions. Her voice now resonates across villages and cities, breaking stereotypes and proving that with the right platform, hidden talent can become a source of hope and empowerment.
