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.

The funds are carefully utilized to ensure they have the greatest impact.
