MTB Foundation, in partnership with Centre for Services and Information on Disability (CSID), recently observed the 'White Cane Safety Day 2025', celebrating this year's theme -- 'Vision beyond sight: Celebrating independence, resilience, and recognising achievements of the blind' -- to raise awareness about the importance of the white cane as a symbol of independence and mobility for individuals who are blind and visually impaired.
On the occasion, the Foundation distributed white canes, Braille kits and assistive devices among visually impaired students, says a press statement.
Later, an awareness session was held to create awareness about the rights of the people with visual disabilities and the challenges faced by them with a view to promoting inclusion and accessibility in the society.
The special event was attended by Samia Chowdhury, Chief Executive Officer, and Golam Rabbani, Associate from MTB Foundation, and Khandaker Jahurul Alam, Executive Director from the Centre for Services and Information on Disability (CSID).
