A very small percentage of blind children receive any form of formal education in India. Disability has a very close link with poverty. Special requirement like Braille books, Braille reading and writing equipment, etc. make education of children with blindness more costly than their seeing counterparts. Good education is the most important factor to make blind person self reliant, productive and independent in their lives. Saksham Trust provides sponsorship to children with blindness belonging to economically weaker section to enable them to get quality education. We believe that these children would get best opportunity for quality education and growth only if they are able to study in good main-stream schools. There fore, this sponsorship is towards bearing the cost of school fee, books in alternative format, special support services and purchase of assistive devices. According to the provisions of disability law of India, no main-stream school can deny admission to person on account of disability. Once this barrier has been overcome, the sponsorship scheme ensures that economic limitation should not become a barrier in the way of empowerment of persons with disability.
