Score Foundation has setup Eyeway as a single stop knowledge resource for life with blindness. Eyeway strives to use the power of knowledge to bring about change in mindsets of the blind, their families, the community, professionals, policy makers and the government. Our mission is to “help realize personal independence, economic self-reliance and social inclusion for all blind and visually impaired people in India.”
Eyeway is committed to the following:
Using information through Eyeway.org to inform, inspire and include persons with vision impairments and their families.
Providing knowledge to professionals and organizations working in the field of blindness that will facilitate and nurture the potential of persons with vision impairments.
Being involved in ongoing research to keep in touch with the information and needs of target groups to ensure the relevance and utility of Eyeway's services.
Campaigning for persons with vision impairments and advocating their inclusion in society. The vision of Eyeway is to ensure that people with visual impairment attain full fledged member status in their community, family and society.
In addition to the online resource center, Eyeway organizes training programs and workshops across the country and hosts a weekly radio show. Launched in November 2005, Eyeway Yeh Hai Roshni Ka Karawan is a 15-minute program that features an interview or advice section, a profile of a blind role model, a competition and a variety of other useful and interesting information.
Since launch, 6000 people have been served by the helpdesk. Monthly, 3000 SMS alerts are sent and the website receives approximately 10,000 hits per month.
