Item description

India is home to 20% of visually impaired people. Still, millions of blind people have no access to white canes. However, the condition of visually impaired girls is more critical. They rarely get walking canes for mobility and orientation. If you look at history, Richard E. Hoover, a World War II veteran developed the first white cane in 1944. From that time to the present time, white canes have transformed into many shapes and designs.
We at Battle for Blindness have taken care of this limitation by putting together a team that is on their toes to offer sports training to the visually impaired.
