empowering the visually impaired.
“We are now living in a technological world where people can now conduct their businesses using a cellphone yet the blind still face difficulties to do so.
“Technology is bridging the gap between the blind and sighted and we hope to mobilise resources and educate the blind so that they can easily fit into the society,” he said.
Another board member, Ms Chipo Chikomo, expressed concern over lack of employment for such people.
She said their organisation would help visually impaired people to secure jobs easily.
“Society is not giving blind people jobs and our organisation will partner with other organisations and stakeholders to help them,” she said.
Ms Chikomo said the organisation would also provide HIV and Aids awareness and would be running a three-month training programme to the partially blind.
“The partially blind would be able to come for training at the resource centre and information on issues of HIV and Aids,” she said.
