Founded in January 2005 by Nidhi Arora – an IIM Calcutta alumnus, Esha is a non-profit initiative striving to help the blind in small ways that make a big difference.
We are a team of volunteers spread across the country, who believe in equal opportunities for the blind and work towards the same.
Our core activities include:
Braille enable your visiting cards. It’s a small investment with big returns.
Use Sensitisation Theater Workshops instead of your old, routine team building activities. Your attendees(students/employees/friends) will find it a refreshing change.
Ensure that all the spaces around you are accessible to the disabled. This is easy to do with a small Accessibility Audit and a few modifications to most existing spaces. You’ll be surprised at how little it costs. If a space is being designed(e.g., a new house, a new building etc.), speak to Access Consultants for pointers.
Spread the word. Talk to other people about Esha and its activities. Link us to your website, your blog, wherever.

We at Esha have a driven volunteer base and at the same time are looking for more like-DNA volunteers to further our cause.

We need a tactile map Of Delhi, India and other locations for 2 people who have asked for them. The volunteer can make them using simple materials on a base map in 2-3 hours tops. You will have to spend money on the following:

Blind Walk: Be a Blind Walk Co ordinator in an area near you. Run the activity in your own colony, with a set of friends, or anywhere at all. Use it as a party game, or as a fun activity. Send us pictures, or post them on facebook. We need to do 10 Blind Walks across India in a month.
I really think everyone should get this done. Everyone.
