Who We Are
about cFDA
Campaign for Differently Abled recognizes that
there are more than 40 million visually impaired in India and 285 million
across the globe. These individuals are all around us, yet we often don’t see
them.
Why?
Because blind people are often invisible, absent from mainstream
society. When seen either crossing a road or trying to make a payment at a
shop, they are mostly overlooked or avoided. Only by learning about one another
and facilitating greater interaction between blind and sighted people can we
overcome this hurdle and become a more inclusive community.
At CFDA, we are driven by a vision to see individuals with blindness, low
vision, deafblind, and multi-disabilities in India empowered and informed, with
the ability to reach their full potential. Our mission is to provide education
and training that enables these individuals to attain self-sufficiency, leading
to employment or self-employment opportunities, thereby integrating them with
dignity into mainstream society.
