RESIDENTIAL BLIND GIRLS SCHOOL 
 
 
IF supports Atma Jyoti Residential Blind Girls School (with over 40 Blind Girls) in Gwalior, MP, India. This School gives the girls the opportunity to have an education and a successful fulfilling life.

These girls would have no chance for a future without the care and support of this comprehensive and effective school

The girls go to regular schools and study with normal children. When they come back from the public school, the teachers at the residential school help them with their homework. Some of the blind girls have excelled in competing with other children in their classes. The girls are also taught music, weaving, yoga and gardening. Every effort is being made to make them successful and contributing citizens in the society.
