Vision Empower (VE), founded in 2017 as a not-for-profit organization, is committed to addressing critical gaps in the educational system for the visually impaired. Specializing in the research and design of programs focused on science, mathematics, computational thinking, and digital literacy, VE was co-founded by Ms. Vidhya Y, a distinguished national awardee. The organization has been instrumental in establishing accessible resource centers, distributing STEM kits, and introducing innovative pedagogical approaches. Operating seamlessly across 14 states, VE actively collaborates with partner organizations and state governments to implement VE interventions. Leveraging technology, VE empowers both visually impaired and sighted teachers. Our diverse programs, from early childhood care to teacher training, emphasize assistive technology to establish a more inclusive and equitable education system.
