In Uganda, 5.9 percent of the population is visually impaired, meaning six out of every 100 people have vision loss. Additionally, 144,000 people are completely blind, according to Charles Olaro, the Director of Curative Services at the Ministry of Health. Most visually impaired individuals in Uganda come from disadvantaged backgrounds and receive limited education, often ending their schooling in primary or secondary levels. Few universities offer spots for them, and vocational institutions.
We are to provide visually impaired individuals with access to vocational & professional training in a safe and supportive environment. This will empower them to enter the job market or create their own income-generating opportunities through service provision or product development. The Ancilla Inclusive Professional School will offer a diverse range of courses for visually impaired students, encompassing professional development, vocational skills, performing arts, & digital access training.
This project empowers visually impaired students in Uganda to achieve economic independence. Through vocational training and mentorship, students will gain the skills and confidence to secure employment or start their own businesses. The project's impact includes: Enhanced skills and innovation for visually impaired individuals, Increased access to affordable education, Greater social inclusion and empowerment, Improved employment and economic independence. We have Concent for capturing visual.
