Northern Uganda is the poorest region in the country due to the effects of 20 years of LRA internal war that ended in 2006, high rates of illiteracy leading to unemployment, and prolonged drought in the semi desert of karamoja which affects farming. There is high rates of school drop out among children especially the blind because high cost of assistive technologies such as braille machine, JAWS computer and limited inclusive secondary school. Extreme poverty is barrier to access education
