NAB Stands for WOMEN
Activities for Women Empowerment
NAB aims at socio-economic empowerment and mainstreaming of blind women, besides ensuring them rehabilitation and welfare services and capacitating them to play a more pro-active role in the society.Because here at NAB we consider the blind women no less than any normal women we consider them even more special and abled. They have been blessed with a superpower of seeing things even without vision,they do each and every task like a normal woman.And this is our ultimate aim at NAB.We want every individual to grow and live a prosperous life irrespective of his/her any kind of disability,because life never comes around twice and no disability should be given importance enough that it limits their living of life with happiness and freedom.
because its not the disability that stops but its the mentality.
mentality of every other individual towards the disabled.We should consider them no superior and no inferior but just as equal and ordinary like us who deserve the privilege of everything that we have.This is the need of hour
