The Rahman Foundation, based in Jalgaon, Maharashtra, delivered 50 copies of Braille Primers to Madrasa E-Noor in Bengaluru, the capital city of Karnataka, recently. Madrasa E-Noor is the first of its kind in the state, dedicated to serving visually impaired girls and women.
At present, Madrasa-E-Noor has 70 students—both online and onsite—with six dedicated teachers providing daily lessons. While the madrasa primarily focuses on female students, it also welcomes visually impaired boys who come to study the Quran. The students start with Braille Primers, which help them develop foundational skills, before advancing to the Braille Quran.
Madrasa E-Noor is committed to supporting its community, offering services such as a pickup and drop-off service for onsite students. 20 students attend Quran classes from Monday to Friday, between 4 PM and 6 PM. These students are picked up from their schools and dropped back home after the lessons.
The Rahman Foundation has been a key supporter of Madrasa E-Noor, providing Braille Primers and soon, Insha'Allah, the Braille Quran to help further the madrasa’s mission.
