What is Blind Corps?
Blind Corps consists of an all-volunteer group of professionals in the field of work with the blind. It was formed in November of 2005 with the purpose of addressing the rehabilitation needs of Blind people in Developing Nations.
While the rehabilitation system for the blind in the United States is far from perfect, few places abroad possess the superior resources and approaches to be found in the States. In the U.S.A., quality rehabilitation training centers for the blind have reduced the unemployment rate of their graduates to as low as ten percent. In fact, a few agencies such as the Nebraska Commission for the Blind produce excellent programs that are without comparison across the globe.
Our Mission
The mission of BLIND CORPS is to share the knowledge and experience of American rehabilitation professionals with natives of developing nations interested in the advancement of the blind in those countries, including the blind themselves, rehabilitation workers, support organizations of the blind, government agencies, and the friends and families of the blind, and to bring the blind to the point of economic, social and political equality by providing educational and technical support.
