About Jyothirgamaya in Jyothirgamaya Foundation,Mra-1,Mannadi Lane,Ambalamukku, Thiruvananthapuram

Welcome to Jyothirgamaya!

““If blind cannot go to school, let the school go to them” is at the heart of a novel initiative coordinated by aTiffany Maria Brar

A pioneering effort in Kerala, Jyothirgamaya is a mobile school for the blind that offers training to blind children and adults at their residence. Meaning ‘leading to light’, Jyothirgamaya seeks to not only lead the blind to live enlightened and holistic lives, but also attempts to give the sighted population a new perspective on how to look at the blind.
Concept:
One of the first obstacles in the way of the blind to gain independence and learn the necessary skills required to adapt is the inability to move around freely. Therefore, many times they are unable to travel to the school or training centre. Keeping this in mind, Jyothirgamaya lives by the concept that “if the blind cannot go to the school then the school should go to the blind”
Our vision:
To see a barrier-free environment where the blind are empowered to use their potential, contribute and be at the forefront of society.
Our mission:
To empower the blind through individual need based training and conducting “Road to Independence training camps for the blind in all parts of Kerala.
