Donate books to 50 blind students in Rajkiya Andh Vidyalaya, Jodhpur

About School:

The Rajkiya Andh Vidyalaya, Jodhpur was started in February 2005 with a mission to provide quality education and equal opportunities to visually impaired children, empowering them to stand on their feet. The school offers a diverse curriculum to 50 visually challenged students from standard 1 to 10. However, the school faces many challenges because of limited financial resources, including the lack of accessible educational resources, especially books with diagrams and pictures.

To achieve its vision, the school seeks your generous support to provide them with a comprehensive set of tactile books covering their entire curriculum. Your contribution will enable their students to access the educational resources they need to succeed and thrive academically.

Human brains have evolved to think in terms of visuals and pictures. From early childhood itself, we learn “A for Apple” with an image, which is why most school curriculums are diagrammatic and visually intensive. Unfortunately, visually impaired students don’t have access to diagrams throughout their education, limiting their cognitive ability and conceptual understanding.

At Raised Lines Foundation (a not-for-profit initiative from IIT Delhi), we believe with equal opportunities provided to these students, they will excel in their paths as their sighted peers. We develop tactile books tailored to the needs of visually impaired students, covering topics like maps, shapes, graphs, and STEM concepts. Our tactile books enable students to explore and understand complex subjects independently, opening doors to STEM education and beyond.

Fundraiser Goal: Provide a set of tactile books covering at least 5 years of education for their 50 students. With your support, the school will be provided with books covering concepts from basic language learning to advanced Science and Mathematics. Apart from these, the kit will comprise coloring, activities, and general knowledge books focusing on the overall intellectual development of students.
