You Cane Give Initiative

Mission Statement

You Cane Give Initiative’s goal is to equip, educate, and empower the blind to create global opportunities. The “white cane famine” has stifled the blind’s autonomy and sense of worth. Blind men and women want to be contributing members of society. Stigmas about blindness can be crushed with the proper tools, education, and positive philosophy. The white cane equips the blind for success and mobility training educates them to be independent and empowered.
