About the organisation
The Help The Blind Foundation was founded in Hong Kong by Mr. D.K. Patel, retired Senior Economist, HSBC, Hong Kong, in 2005 with prominent local residents as directors. Initially, the focus of the foundation was to help blind school-going children by building/improving existing schools. Research showed that integrated education, rather than education in segregated schools of the blind, prepared them better for employability in the real world – that prompted Mr. D.K. Patel, to provide visually impaired students in India access to university education in regular colleges, which alone would give them the confidence to integrate into society and empower them to obtain a reasonable employment. HTBF India was hence established in Chennai in 2010 with academics and professionals as Trustees to implement the mission of the Foundation and the journey of the Foundation began in earnest with Mr. Patel at its helm. Vision Successfully elevate economic status of the Visually Impaired and improve their image in the eyes of the society. Mission Provide access to university education thereby enabling Visually Impaired students to get jobs in today’s modern economy.

- A Peek into the Life of a Screen Reader User
With the sound of rain lightly drumming on my windows, I woke up on that partly gloomy day. “Alexa, what’s the time?” I mumbled sleepily. She doesn’t just say the time, but also adds the weather update for the day in her response. I don’t really appreciate going back to my phone as soon as […]
