We need Corporates to partner with us for providing these technology solutions to persons with blindness and low vision for overcoming the challenges that are faced by them in their day-to-day life for identifying the objects of their daily use. NGOs partner with Corporates to seek funds for supporting their initiatives and sustain the projects for a greater benefit of the community they are working with. However, without a partnership and collaboration with Corporate sectors, NGOs cannot meet their objectives and deliver quality services to their beneficiaries in a sustainable manner. Hence, Corporate and NGO partnership is crucial for the mutual benefit of both the stakeholders.
