Our aim is to empower the blind in all spheres of life. Jyothirgamaya is an organization operating under a charitable trust that is the Jyothirgamaya foundation

According to the Kerala Federation for the Blind 2001 sample survey there, are four hundred thousand blind people living in the state of Kerala. Many of which go to schools, and many also have governmental jobs. Despite this fact they are not at all able to perform their activities of daily living, and they also lack immensely in orientation and mobility skills. They are confined within the four walls of their houses, and are not allowed to come out unaided. As they are living in the rural areas and most of the blind organizations are in the urban areas, they do not have access to proper training facilities. The reason behind this is that their guardians are not able to bring them to the school or training center. In order to solve this problem Jyothirgamaya adopts a unique approach of taking the school to their doorstep. We reach out to our blind beneficiaries through advertising our services in newspapers, featuring our programmes in popular television channels and radio channels. In order to widen our outreach program we are also conducting short term workshops and training camps in different parts of the state.

To empower the blind in all possible spheres of life, through need based individualized training in all necessary skills paving the way for sharpening their personalities, and enabling them to get suitable employment. And also to sensitize the general public on how to look at the blind, and provide them with a conducive platform to live as every other citizen does
