Volunteers
Nethrodaya's 20 year old journey has been an incredible one, with new iniatives being launched year on year to empower and enhance the lives of the differently abled and visually impaired. On these lines Nethrodaya launched a unique scheme “Death with Dignity” in all the 32 districts of Tamil Nadu. We strongly believe that the death of visually impaired person has to be treated with utmost dignity with decent cremation/burial. Due to lack of family support and poverty most of them are unable to perform the last rites of their loved ones who are also visually impaired. With this initiative now they will be able to perform the final rites and funeral of their deceased loved ones and give them a respectful and dignified final farewell. General public who are economically poor with visually impaired people in their families can reach out to Nethrodaya to avail this timely service in the time of grief.
