Meet Rima, a 24-year-old university student in Dhaka who has been visually impaired since childhood. Every morning, stepping out of her hostel is a small act of courage. She can't tell if a rickshaw is coming, can't read the signboard that tells her which shop she's passing, and can't check the label on her own medicine strip without asking someone nearby. Apps like Seeing AI or Be My AI exist, but they're built for English speakers — their descriptions come out stiff and half-translated when she needs them in Bangla, and half the time she just gives up and calls a family member instead. For hundreds of thousands of blind and low-vision people across Bangladesh, this isn't a rare inconvenience — it's a daily negotiation with independence, repeated every single time they leave the house.
