This Project intends to support the highly effective education facilities for the blind students at Lakshmipuram by providing more accommodation for female blind students.
The main purpose of the construction of 1st floor is to accommodate more female blind students whose ratio compared to blind boys is about 1:5. The blind students attending this school are usually from Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram and Srikakulam. They come from very poor families which don't even have the resources to feed one meal per day. This blind school provides free food and education.
Helen Keller Memorial Association for the Blind aims to provide special education for the blind people in and around Visakhapatnam and trains them to earn a living. The organization was started on 20th June 1986 by Mr. D. Hemantha Kumar who himself is visually challenged. The school identifies visually challenged children in the region of Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram and Srikakulam districts and provides boarding, food, and clothing in addition to special education. They also provide vocational training like Music, Type Writing, Braille Shorthand, Caning work, Phenol making, Candle making among others.
