Computer Training for the Blind

“Getting job is difficult for blind people so I am very lucky for this opportunity. Your support is very important for my life”

This is an extract from a letter written by Samrat to his sponsor. He typed it all by himself on our new computer using the screen reading software Jaws. He started his computer training in April and we were delighted to get our first ever email from him earlier this month. We began funding a small computer training project in Pokhara last year and so far, 14 blind individuals have benefited (including our students). We are presently working hard to try and get funding to develop this project further.
