How to Fundraise for Sightsavers Effectively?

When an eye issue impairs the visual system and its functioning, it is called vision impairment. A person with vision impairment has significant lifelong repercussions. Timely access to high-quality eye care can help to reduce many of these negative impacts. One of the most impactful ways to help these people is to support NGOs that are into eye care or volunteer the time in them. In addition to making a positive difference in the lives of others, donors in many countries can also get the benefit of a charitable donation tax deduction. visit: https://sightsaversin.blogspot.com/2024/12/how-to-fundraise-for-sightsavers.html

The project by Microsoft and EnAble India to employ people with impairments

Recently, Microsoft and EnAble India announced their partnership to provide 100,000 new opportunities for people with disabilities (PwDs). According to reports, the initiative, dubbed “Inclusion to Action,” seeks to provide an opportunity platform by uniting more than 100 organisations nationwide from the financial services, manufacturing, retail, and tech sectors to collaborate on a range of tech skilling, mentorship, internship, and employment initiatives in order to achieve economies of scale in the shared objective of economic empowerment for PwDs.

People with disabilities face numerous obstacles to fair employment opportunities, which contributes to greater unemployment rates and socioeconomic disparities. People with disabilities must have equal access to education and employment opportunities as everyone else in order to address these issues.

With programmes ranging from tech skilling and mentorship to internships and jobs, the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between EnAble India and Microsoft seeks to establish an ecosystem for both opportunity seekers and suppliers. The technical skill development programmes are created to improve knowledge of digital accessibility as businesses develop their hybrid work strategies more frequently.

The development of accessible products will be facilitated by the growing representation of PwDs, which will benefit people with disabilities who utilise technology. Additionally, training materials on contemporary workplace applications for increased productivity and successful collaboration are available to people with impairments.

Sightsavers - Famous NGOs in India

Sightsavers is famous NGO in India helping the blind and visually impaired since 1966. Sightsavers is famous not only for providing medical treatment to the blind but also for training them to become self-sufficient in terms of day to day works, communication, sensory skills and basic earning. Working with these children and by various research, we came to know that Children who have been blind for many years but did have a vision in early life, often take a long time to ‘learn to see’ again. Sometimes a psychologically stressful and difficult time for them to re-adapt to the new sensory input they are receiving makes the process difficult. They often need a great deal of sympathy, love, affection, and encouragement to ‘learn to see’ and during this period they may get even depressed. To cope with this situation Sightsavers have planned some recreational and rehabilitation activities for them like storytelling and reading session for them in a braille language so they can learn and enjoy at the same time. Group of skilled and professional teachers indulges with us to train these children.

We have endeavored to give detailed information about our activities as all the donation money received by NGO goes directly to our programme and in awareness of people about the blind child. A blind child is a special child a bit more sensitive than the normal one so be kind to the same kind. Sightsavers wants you to participate in a donation for child education, be the light in someone’s darkness. Your small donation will enlighten the life of these gems of India.your tax-deductible donation will be gratefully acknowledged and will be used for good cause.
