Under the ‘White Cane Path Project’ visually impaired people can look forward to a safer trip to the shopping mall, restaurants etc., in Penang, Malaysia.

The Rotary Club is funding a 1.5 kilometre pathway connecting ‘Saint Nicholas Home’ to One-Stop Midlands Park. The home is a centre for the care and rehabilitation of children and adults with visual or multiple sensory disabilities.

The Penang Municipal Council has been urged to build obstruction-free pathways for the visually impaired and disabled people. Once this pathway is completed, the authorities envisage more such project.

The pathway will be ready by early next year.
