Feel free to ask Campaigner for a new update on this Fundraiser.

Story of the changemaker

“I was only 3 when I lost my vision. And since then, I have seen the kind of discrimination that people face because of no fault of theirs. However, despite all my struggles, I persevered and went on to finish my education. And that was when I realized that I had to do something for people like me, who have been suffering like me,” - Professor Dattu Agarwal, Founder, Ambubai Residential School For Visually Challenged Girls.

In 2007, he founded the Ambubai Residential School for Visually Challenged Girls in memory of his mother. This school in Gulbarga, Karnataka, started with just four girls. Today, it has 100 girls who work hard on their studies day and night in the hope of a bright future. Dattu Agarwal wants to give them the best education he can.

No one wanted to give these girls a future, not even their own families

“I started school because there were no schools here specifically for visually challenged girls. They have to go through a lot already; they deserve a good education and access to the best resources. But now I’m struggling to do this on my own.”

Dattu Agarwal wants to give these girls nothing but the best. Your support has helped them build a safer and more inclusive school that will be home for the 100+ visually-impaired girls, but there is a lot left to do. They want to complete the construction of the building and give these girls a safe home.

“I want them to grow up to be well-respected human beings. The stigma and the discrimination that they have faced need to be washed away by the love in their lives that they deserve. But for that they need to be educated with the best of resources, and I need your help for that.”

Dattu Agarwal needs your help, donate now

Dattu Agarwal dreams of building a brighter future for countless young girls, and now he needs your help to make it a reality. He is working tirelessly to complete the construction of a new school that can welcome more girls and give them the chance to learn, grow, and dream big.

But he cannot do it alone. The school urgently needs construction materials to continue building, as well as a vehicle to ensure the girls have access to healthcare and opportunities to participate in cultural events.

Your support can transform their lives, giving these girls the education and opportunities they deserve. Every contribution counts. Together, we can shape their future
