Fujitsu success story

The Poona Blind Men's Association

Location: India

Fujitsu Consulting India is making a meaningful impact through its partnership with The Poona Blind Men's Association (PBMA), helping visually impaired students gain crucial skills through the Technical Training Institute (TTI).

  • Why it matters

    In India, educational and employment opportunities for the visually impaired are scarce. The Poona Blind Men's Association (PBMA) is changing that, offering advanced computer skills and personal development training to enable students. With Fujitsu's support, these students are gaining the confidence to enter the workforce and prove that vision impairment is no barrier to success.

  • Making a difference

    Through specialized training in computer skills, Fujitsu is preparing young students for corporate careers and enabling them to secure jobs in their local communities. This partnership is not just about education-it's about opening doors and creating a future where everyone can thrive, embracing the unique strengths and talents of each individual.

At Fujitsu, our commitment transcends mere business success; we aspire to cultivate a sustainable ecosystem where every individual can flourish. Our partnership with the Poona Blind Men's Association embodies this ethos, reflecting our unwavering promise to engage deeply with the communities we serve. Through this collaboration, we are not only making a profound impact in people's lives but also championing diversity and inclusion as fundamental pillars of progress.
