Akhter Trust For The Blind

We operate the Akhter Trust For The Blind out of a small space near the Naj Stall. It’s in the Bhavani Mata Krida Mandal Compound on Bhavani Road No 2. Being near the IPC Grand Maratha Hotel in Cotton Green makes it easier for people to find us, though the area can be a bit confusing with all the narrow roads and busy intersections. We’ve been here for quite some time now, focusing on what needs to be done for the community. The building isn't anything special to look at, but it serves its purpose for our daily activities. We spend most of our days here coordinating things and helping out whoever walks through the door needing assistance. It gets quite noisy outside with the traffic from the hotel and the local markets, but inside we just keep to our work. We aren't a big organization with lots of funding or expensive equipment. It’s mostly just a few of us making sure things keep moving along every day. We have some basic equipment and a lot of old furniture that has seen better days. People from the neighborhood often stop by just to say hello or ask for advice. We don’t have fancy brochures or a big sign out front. We just stay busy with the daily tasks that come our way. It’s a lot of manual work and talking to people, but that’s how we’ve always done it here in Cotton Green.
