As the name suggests, this organisation provides vocational training and subsidized hostel facility to the visually challenged.
 
MNB is situated in Mumbai’s suburb Jogeshwari, opp Malcolm Baug on SV Road.
In 2006, It started a project of Self Employment Scheme for Small Businesses for the Visually Challenged and has since then served 600 visually challenged in setting up a small business and living a life of dignity and independence.
 
We are raising funds for this project by particpating in the Mumbai Marathon.The 6kms walk at the Dream Run category is the famous one amongst all NGOs to spread their word and walk with atleast a 100 participants to support their cause.We also have 3 visually challenged persons from the same Home who will be running the 21kms Half Marathon to raise funds for the same.Additionally we will have a few visually challenged persons participating in the Dream Run Category.
