'Our vision is of a Sierra Leone in which blind and visually impaired persons have the same opportunities, rights, and responsabilities as the sighted.'

VISION FOR THE BLIND is a local non-profit organization that sprung out of the need to promote and to seek out the interests of persons with living with disabilities, particularly blindness.

The organization was established in 2003, by five blind teachers from the Milton Margai School for the Blind in Freetown, Sierra Leone:

We were victims of social discriminations in not only the employment sector but also in other social spheres of life. We also experienced turbulent times in pursuing our academic careers. The more difficult these challenges became, the more determined we were to succeed. As such, the formation and existence of Vision for the Blind (VFB) Sierra Leone is clear evidence of our success.
