Inside Me is a grassroots initiative that empowers visually impaired students through education-integrated vocational training, aligning closely with the RPWD Act and the National Action Plan for Skill Development of Persons with Disabilities (2015).

We begin working with students from a young age, using tactile art to help them visualize complex concepts. As they progress, a select group of students receives specialized training in holistic healing therapies like reflexology—hands-on skills that require touch, sensitivity, and intuition, not sight.

To build confidence and exposure, students also participate in embassy fetes, art fairs, and public events, where they develop presentation and communication skills. By the time they graduate, these students are not only educated, but equipped with practical skills, real-world experience, and the confidence to lead self-reliant, financially independent lives.

Holistic healing is a growing field, both in urban and rural areas. Once trained and certified, blind individuals can:

• Offer therapies independently or in wellness centers

• Work with spas, alternative medicine clinics, or NGOs

• Teach or assist in therapeutic workshops

• Offer corporate or community-based services
