Story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit the World Access for the Blind donation page. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.  Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to our charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. It’s the most efficient way to donate.

World Access for the Blind is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to facilitate the self-directed achievement of blind people.

We are a team of dedicated staff who lead by example – as we are blind ourselves! We travel the world teaching FlashSonar (echolocation), mobility, and life skills to other blind youth and adults. World Access for the Blind is known for our No Limits attitude, as we do not settle for the minimum requirements of functioning, but instead reach for the limits beyond our limits. Our goal for our students is that they understand that they have the ability to direct their own lives rich with quality, promise, and as much excitement and intrigue as they could wish for. We even have a group of completely-blind mountain bikers!
