About Friends Of Braille Without Borders Inc

FRIENDS OF BRAILLE WITHOUT BORDERS INC is a nonprofit organization management company based out of 1200 Arapahoe St. Golden CO 80401. It's primary purpose is to fundraise for the Kanthari Organization (Formerly Braille Without Borders) INTRODUCTION Before the opening of the Project, blind people in the Tibet Autonomous Region did not have the opportunity to participate in society; they neither had access to education nor to suitable vocations. Many led a life on the margin of society with few chances of integration. According to official statistics 30.000 of the 2.5 million inhabitants of the T.A.R. are blind or highly visually impaired. Compared to most areas in the world this is well above the average ratio. The causes of visual impairment or blindness are both climatic and hygienic: dust, wind, high ultra-violet light radiation, soot in houses caused by heating with coal and/or yak dung, and lack of vitamin A and D at an early age. Cataracts are widespread. Governmental and private organizations have set up eye- camps where medical surgery is being performed and local doctors are taught to do the procedure. However, there is a large group of blind people that can't be helped this way. For this group of people Braille Without Borders started the rehabilitation and training centre for the blind.
