At Innovation for the Blind, we believe that we need to be the change we want to see - providing services to persons with disabilities is not the same as working with them to create a better future where they can achieve their full potential.

The Resource Centre where persons who are blind, deafblind, and those with additional disabilities can receive training and mentorship, but more importantly, be given the opportunity to conduct the training and mentorship themselves.
