Tiffany Brar needs no introduction. This blind young woman is walking her own special path as a successful entrepreneur, motivational speaker and teacher. Her organization, Jyothirgamaya Foundation, based in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, is helping to empower blind people since 2015.
Jyothirgamaya aims to make blind people financially independent and enable them to lead a life of dignity and honour. They have a residential training centre that is open to blind people from across India. At the centre, students are trained to use the latest accessible technologies, and taught communication skills in English. There are seven students in each batch and each batch is for a period of five months. There are over five staff members and two special educators to teach the students. What sets this initiative apart is the personal touch Brar brings, having experienced considerable challenges as visually impaired person.
