What the charity does

Kiran Talking Newspapers came into existence with the launch of 'Kiran' now a Gujarati weekly, in April 1985. We currently produce talking newspapers on USB memory Sticks. Our readers record normal written texts from newspapers, magazines and books on these USB memory Sticks and distribute them to blind and visually impaired South Asians throughout UK at no cost to them.
