The Challenges Blind Children Face

At Divyang, we’re committed to improving the lives of blind children through sport, we approach this by recognizing five major areas of concern:

 Lack of Inclusion in Schools and Academies

  • Most schools do not offer adaptive football training or extracurricular programs for visually impaired students.
​
  • Visually impaired children are often left out of physical education classes due to the absence of specialized curriculum and trained instructors.
​
  • The lack of early exposure to sports deprives them of essential motor skill development and the confidence to engage in competitive sports.

Bridging the Gap
