Organisation mission statement
The organizational vision of the BBM is to see that the basic rights of the disabled people partricularly the visual disabled persons have been well established. In order to achief this vision the mission of the BBM is to create, promote and support the opportunity for treatment, training, education, rehabilitation and job, etc. and for the visually disabled people and thus assist them to be established in the main stream of the society.

Target group
(i) The visually impaired or VI (both blind and low vision) children in rural and remote areas Savar under Dhaka District most of which are from the families of below proverty level and have not received any proper medical check up and necessary treatment for their visual disability and thus have no access to the formal education in any locall normal or special (not available in the project area) schools are the target group of the proposed project.
(ii) A number of VI children already got access to education after necessary medical check up and treatment, basic rehabilitation training and preschool training under the same type of project during the previous years and are now in need of education support for the continuation of their studies, become the target group of the proposed project.

Project purpose
With the proposed project we want to reach that in long term the children in the proposed project area (Savar area) most of which are of the families below proverty level are not becoming visually impaired or blind due to ignorance or lack of awareness and absence of proper eye care services upto their reach and capabilities and thus the cause of blindness has been reduced to almost nill in Savar area.
The VI childeren already existing in the families in different parts of the area after receiving proper medical treatment and
inclussive education are no longer considered as burden to each of their families or to the society. besides, each of them
become educated and independant earning members in their families as well as in the society.
The local normal and elite people in the area become more cooperative and helpful to the existing VI children and adults in the development activities of these VI persons in their areas.
