Literacy is the single most important gateway to success for all children. For blind children, braille is the only path to becoming literate, yet an astonishing 90% of blind children are not learning braille. By choosing to support National Braille Press, you’re helping us bridge the literacy gap by putting braille into the hands of blind children and their families. Support braille literacy. For the love of reading and a lifetime of learning.
Share this campaign and together we can narrow the literacy gap for blind children
