MISSION
Ensure every learner with blindness/vision impairment advances in education through access to appropriate assistive technology.
VISION
Blind/visually impaired children fulfill their potential for independent living through access to education and literacy.
OUR GOALS
Advocate and empower on behalf of blind and visually impaired students from primary school through university.
CHANGE A CHILD'S
WORLD FOR GOOD
80% of blind children lack access to quality education.
Make a difference
$50 can buy a year’s supply of braille paper for 5 children. This is the most powerful way to help.
We are committed to the social and economic inclusion of blind/visually impaired youth and young graduates in mainstream society with access to appropriate employment opportunities in order to become independent citizens of the countries that we serve.

Helping Children Succeed
The students are very grateful that they have been empowered by having access to functioning braille machines. Learning would not be possible without your generous support. Thank you!

Life changing for learners
Life changed soon after I got introduced to a Brailler. Though the machine itself was so heavy to carry around, it eased my work in class. The first time I placed my hand onto a Brailler I was relieved. Thank you for enabling me to learn!

Making careers possible
This machine totally changed my perspective on Braille, because it proved to me that writing using a Brailler could make writing faster than that of my sighted counterparts. In fact, it really made me enjoy writing notes and stories and hence boosted my creativity and made me become a good story writer. A life without a Brailler is a life where creative thoughts are stuck inside my mind!
