Time is similar to a streaming water way, not a single drop goes underneath your feet twice. Much like the stream minutes never pass you by again. We can rectify us only by judging our past performance, what we did wrong? And how we can improve our self?

We started Blind Help Project more than three years ago with a passion of helping blind community. We had a hope that we will serve blind community. Since that time we are facing hardships but we are committed to our work, even hardships made us stronger than before. In 2017 our list of genuine friends increased, every single day they stroll close to us.

We tried our level best to provide you different software, Games, Tutorials, QPTs, Articles, Islamic Content and Programming/Development Resources. It wasn’t an easy task for us in fact we are so young, most of us are minor. Our goals are so high; we will approach a single blind so that he can enjoy his life by educating himself.

Education is a social instrument through which we can guide our destiny and shape our future. We are here to provide you guideline about educating blind through internet.

In 2018 we can discover new strengths and garner faith with us. 
 We all team members of Blind Help Project wish you happy New Year from bottom of our heart. May Allah almighty enable you to rejoice the simple pleasures that life would offer and put a brave front for all challenges from your way. May God give you happiness and strength to overcome past deficiencies, may all negativity and difficulties also end with 2017.
