Our Impact
At the World Blind Union, we are committed to enhancing the lives of blind and partially sighted individuals across the globe through targeted advocacy, capacity building, and strategic initiatives.
Our efforts extend from international forums, where we champion the rights and needs of our community, to on-the-ground programs that build the capabilities of our member organizations.
Here are some of the significant strides we’ve made:
We played a pivotal role in advocating for the adoption of the Marrakesh Treaty, facilitating greater access to published works for the blind and partially sighted community worldwide.
We manage up to five unique scholarships that promote higher education opportunities for those who are blind or partially sighted, prioritizing individuals in developing countries.
This initiative is dedicated to promoting employment opportunities for blind and partially sighted individuals, providing crucial resources and support to enhance career prospects.
Through the Global Program for Inclusive and Accessible Urban Development, we push for significant advancements in the accessibility of the built environment, making cities more navigable and livable for everyone.
WBU has been instrumental in advocating for and facilitating access to assistive technology that empowers blind and partially sighted individuals. This includes efforts to ensure that technology products are designed inclusively from the outset and the promotion of policies that support cost-effective access to these technologies globally.
These initiatives are just a few examples of how your contributions help us continue to make a meaningful difference. By donating to WBU, you support the ongoing fight for inclusion and accessibility. Stay informed and witness the impact of your generosity through our stories of change and progress.
